Doesn't answer my question. throwing someone in jail or shooting required for the 14th to apply?
It would seem that the 14th doesn't require a conviction, agree?
It requires an action of congress to enact the 14th as per the SCOTUS.
The ruling made clear that lawmakers after the Civil War intended the 14th Amendment to expand federal power, at the expense of the states, and that the Constitution "empowers Congress" to determine how to use the "severe" penalty of disqualification.
There is also a law against insurrection that was passed by Congress.
When examining the crimes of rebellion and insurrection, it's important to understand how they compare to treason and sedition. Learn about January 6th, rioting, the Proud Boys, and much more at FindLaw.com.

The prohibition on rebellion and insurrection arises in federal law at
18 U.S.C. Section 2383. The law prohibits incitement, assistance, and participation in a rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States and its laws. The punishment for this crime includes a fine, up to 10 years in federal prison, and ineligibility for federal public office.
Unless I have missed it so far Nobody has been charged with insurrection for Jan 6th.
By November of 2023, federal prosecutors had filed charges against
over 1,200 individuals. Crimes alleged include:
- Assaults on law enforcement officers from the Capitol Police and the D.C. Metropolitan police
- Obstructing and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding
- Trespassing in restricted areas of federal buildings or grounds
- Conspiracy to obstruct a proceeding of Congress
- Conspiracy to obstruct law enforcement during a civil disorder
- Seditious conspiracy
- Destruction and theft of property
So keep repeating it and maybe some day it will happen.
You and others keep saying it is so obviously true. And if so why isn't he doing time in prison or ... Why has no one been charged with insurrection?
That being said I think every single person that illegally entered the Capital Buildings or participated in the riot that day should be arrested and held accountable.
