Correct. Trump was not convicted, he was labeled by both Chambers of Congress, by vote, as an insurrectionist. Labeling a person an insurrectionist is all that is required for disqualification. The 14th DOES NOT REQUIRE A CONVICTION - ONLY THE BEHAVIOR is required. REPEAT: The 14th DOES NOT REQUIRE A CONVICTION - ONLY THE BEHAVIOR is required.

As the SCOTUS ruled, only Congress can label someone an insurrectionist, thereby disqualifying him from holding office. The '21'-'22 Congress has done this.

1860's Congress clearly intended Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to prevent oath-breaking insurrectionists and those who sympathized with them from serving in federal or state government.

It is now a requirement of Speaker Mike Johnson to remove Trump for being disqualified as an insurrectionist per the 14th Amendment. If Johnson does not do this, Johnson himself must be removed. Then the next Speaker must remove Trump. If he/she does not. THAT Speaker needs to be removed - so forth and so
