14th Amendment Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
One could easily argue that an attempted coup qualifies as rebellion, or the January 6th insurrection, which qualifies all on its own.
You also can’t run for office if you have a foreign noble title, but that’s not as relevant here.
So if a politician gets let’s say a knighthood, that would make it impossible for them to be president?
Can anyone from a noble house please knight Trump then? I’m pretty sure he would feel honored by it!
