did you read the list of charges I posted for you?
I asked you whether he was charged with the only offense that would bar him from the ballot in November. To clarify the answer is no.

"Ha, he wasn't charged with murder! He was just charged with first degree homocide"
Literally what you're doing.
You used to actually have two brain cells to rub together. It's really sad how dishonest you've become.
14th Amendment, Section 3
Quote
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.
The reading is pretty clear, obstructing an official proceeding is a crime which Trump may or may not be guilty of, but it is not a crime which would constitutionally bar him from office. The same is true of "conspiracy to limit voting rights" and "defrauding the United States". Whether or not these are political charges, or novel readings of the law, or an accurate rendition of justice are irrelevant. They do not prohibit Trump from seeking reelection.
