If convicted, can Trump run again?

Politifact: Can he?
And a response. A nice smack-down of the "fact" checker.

You stated in your August 9, 2022 report that:
Congress could act to bar Trump from running again under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which says that public officials cannot serve in any future federal, state, or military office if they engaged in “insurrection or rebellion.” The Senate hasn’t pursued that route. It could have banned Trump from running again during impeachment proceedings and did not. It’s unknown how the committee investigating Trump’s actions around the Jan. 6 attack may address the prospect of Trump’s candidacy.
Not one of your statements above is a fact. Each is a highly contestable legal claim, argument, or intuition.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Are we really going to head towards a Civil War over Donald Friggin Trump?

@jon-nyc said in If convicted, can Trump run again?:
I think he could run from federal prison and pardon himself on 1/20 if he wins.
