Does the Constitution ban in insurrectionists from running for office?

Does it apply to Trump even in today's confused atmosphere? Do laws simply have no power in a coup?

14th Amendment, Section 3

But who knows what applies to Trump.

Section 3.
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.

@MistyCee I think first you have to prove there was an insurrection. Explain why a policeman shot and killed an unarmed woman (active-duty military on leave) inside the capital that was on video trying to stop people from going in. Explain why biden has hidden that officer away. Explain why the capital was unguarded at that time. Then explain to us why in the previous 9 months before Jan 6, there was no liberal outcry or concern for the BLM and Antifa riots that were violent and destroyed property and lives.

First you'd need to actually formally charge him.. then convict him of the charges otherwise it's a moot concept
