At least eight public officials have been formally adjudicated to be disqualified and barred from public office under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment since its ratification in 1868.
Section 3, also known as the Disqualification Clause, has gained new relevance in the wake of the January 6th insurrection, when a violent mob that then-President Trump summoned and urged to “fight like h****” seized the United States Capitol to disrupt the peaceful transition of power. Adopted after the Civil War to protect American democracy from those who sought to destroy it, Section 3 disqualifies from office anyone who swore an oath to support the Constitution as a federal or state officer and then engaged in insurrection or rebellion against it!
Section 3 is not a criminal penalty, but rather is a qualification for holding public office in the United States that can be and has been enforced through civil lawsuits in state courts, among other means.
Missouri Laws 561.021 – Forfeiture of public office — disqualification
Except as provided in subsection 3 of this section, a person who pleads guilty or nolo contendere or is convicted under the laws of this state of a felony or under the laws of another jurisdiction of an offense which, if committed within this state, would be a felony, shall be ineligible to hold any public office, elective or appointive, under the government of this state or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

In 2015 Donny4x's promised to unveil a new health care plan. It never existed. And never will. --Donny4x's promised to build a wall. He only did 458 miles out of 2,000. Most of it was repair or replacement, not new. --He promised to make Mexico pay. They didn't. He pulled money from the Dept of Defense being spent on legitimate projects to fund his wall obsession.-- He promised to cut the deficit. He added $8T to it.-- He promised a middle-class tax cut. He cut taxes for the rich. The middle class is paying for it.-- He said he wouldn't play golf as President. He made 250 visits to his own golf clubs. It cost taxpayers $136 million.--- He said he'd increase economic growth by 4%. He didn't.--( President Biden did.)-- He promised an infrastructure plan. He had none. (President Biden signed a massive one.)-- He promised to hire "the best people." He fired 3/4 of them, and then said they were the worst ever. --- He promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs. He didn't: (President Biden did.)-- Promised we'd win the trade war with China. We didn't, It cost about a quarter million jobs and hurt Americans./// He promised his corporate tax cuts would help and benefit Workers and corporations would use that money to invest in American workers. They didn't, they bought back stocks. But, but I'm struggling financially. ---That's all I hear from Trump supporters. They make it seem like they weren't living paycheck to paycheck before Trump was in office which is nonsense.
Do you really believe that? Trump lost the popular vote even when he won. Guess where they found the most illegal votes? A large margin were Trump voters.
