Congress needs to vote on RE-qualifying Trump for office

[GenXer47]

Hear me out:
The 14th amendment is too vague, in defining the process by which an insurrectionist is disqualified from office. As of now, it's simply a matter of non-binding opinions that are doomed to die a "fair and balanced" death.
But it’s clear on how to remove the disqualification.
We need a Democratic senator or rep to call for the vote, to “remove such disability”, under the assumption that Trump is already disqualified.
This will force debate on the issue, and it’s safe – the 2/3 threshold to actually re-qualify him will never be reached.
But it will bring this critical issue into the light, and hopefully, into the courts ASAP.
Because if this issue isn't resolved soon, say hi to the "ballot wars", where states like Texas and Oklahoma will refuse to put Biden on their ballots, out of spite. That's goodnight for democracy, folks. We need to hash this out, legally, NOW.

1. Interesting thought. I had read that the 14th Section 3 disqualified this individual - period.

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/section-3/

I believe each state can interpret the amendment to allow/dis-allow a candidate without involving the US Congress or courts.

If only a few states disallow this individual to even be presented on their ballots, there's absolutely no chance that he (individual-1, defendant-n) would ever get enough popular votes.

I'm sure the legal beagles (and a few more knowledgeable people) will let their opinions be known in time.

2. But like the OP states, some may take that to mean they can take Biden off the ballot

No one gets 270, house decides. Do not like that at all.
