Reply to comment by SweatyCockroach8212 in RI Congressman Cicilline leads effort to bar Trump from running again under 14th Amendment by Rogue-Island-Pirate

Your interpretation is incorrect because it requires ignoring "having previously taken an oath" part of of that statement. That's a pretty important part of this.

My regular dumb ass leading a rebellion wouldn't be the same as someone who'd already taken an oath for the government doing the same.

Right. This is why Cicilline is looking to use the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from being eligible to be President again. He took the oath and he supported an insurrection or rebellion against the government.
