    It still doesn’t matter what the constitution says if the courts never convict him of the crimes that would disqualify him from running. He needs to serve time and be prevented from running, but I don’t think either will happen

      Minor point, but did you actually read the article? The 2 constitutional scholars from the Federalist Society say that he is already disqualified - it’s not necessary to “convict him” as he has already been involved and complicit in the insurrection.
