14th Amendment to Constitution: "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." Or is Trump somehow immune as he's apparently been to other legalities of this country?

The Constitution is interpreted by the Supreme Court. However, Joe Biden is still the President of the United States, until Jan 20, 2025. He has sworn an oath to protect and preserve the Constitution. And he is charged with enforcing the law of the land. Joe could take Executive Action to apply this provision and deny Trump the White House. Preferably before Jan 6. And the Supreme Court has already ruled that the President has immunity from any official acts. So Joe can't be prosecuted for this action.

The Supremes even anticipated the President ordering a hit on anyone who is deemed to be a "clear and present danger" to the country. Joe could have Trump exiled or imprisoned or even executed.

Will he do this? Should he do this? It is perfectly clear that Trump "engaged in insurrection". He did it in public! 300 million Americans watched him commit treason--live on TV!
