Yup, the constitution just says if you do it. Doesn’t say you have to be convicted of doing it in court, or anything like that. Just being involved you are automatically disqualified and Congress has to vote to override that.
The actual answer is 2/3rds of congress. If two thirds of congress decided he can’t be president because they believe he wasn’t born in the US, regardless of the evidence, he’d be disqualified then too. (As an example)
I’m imagining a future where both Trump and Biden get declared rebels by the other party, and neither can pass the 2/3rd vote. The government devolves into chaos where nobody can run for president anymore… eventually we just have to pick Tom Hanks because everyone thinks he’s alright.
Fuck I couldn’t even watch that! What a twisted bunch of arseholes feeling the need to punch on the one guy on TV who legitimately only wanted to do good things for kids. He spent his life carefully bringing a message to kids that everyone deserves to be loved - and those hosts spent 20 minutes complaining that he was too soft on them. I feel sorry for their kids!
The constitution states that the matter is decided by a round of Roshambo
From the text 2/3 of the house and the senate need to explicitly vote to allow it.

I love how people think the law works. Like they’re magical incantations and just “apply” without needing to be decided and enforced.
Who would decide “if you [did] it”?

We can’t pick Mr Rogers, so we’ll just pick the guy who played him in the biographical - he’s the second best option.
Nope, Fox News already did a whole thing about hating Mr. Rogers 15+ years ago. He wouldn’t be an option at all.

Ya roshambo is always played best two out of three
Oh, then trump wins. He doesn’t have balls.
