Barring Jan 6th participants from Public Office

What is happening? “A county court in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Sept. 6, 2022, became the first in more than 150 years to disqualify a person from public office because they participated in an insurrection.”

Why is this important? Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution permits barring from public office people who participated in insurrections.

How will this be important? Good governance organizations are considering Section 3 if Donald Trump seeks public office again.
