ATTN Constitutional Lawyers: Isn't This Disqualifying If Convicted?

Donald Trump faces four criminal charges tied to the revised indictment concerning 2020 election interference. These charges are rooted in allegations of his attempt to overturn the election results, encompassing:

1. Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)


2. Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1512(k))


3. Obstruction and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2))


4. Conspiracy Against Rights (18 U.S.C. § 241)​​​​.



These charges collectively highlight actions Trump allegedly took to disrupt the certification of the electoral vote, pressure officials, and perpetuate falsehoods about the election's legitimacy​​​​.

I need you legal eagles to chime in here please. Also, with these charges, how do we petition for a redress of grievances? Any law firms out there want to help with this? We have far to go, and must get there fast!
