The notion that the framers of 14Am would have taken great pains to ensure not one single traitor could hold one measly seat in Congress, but could be entrusted with the single most powerful position of all, is too stupid to debate.

My only quibble with the article is in the claim that Congress has not passed a law enacting this provision of the 14th - is that not what 18 U.S. Code § 2383 does? And doesn't that mean that conviction under that statute is a necessary prerequisite to declaring a person ineligible to hold office?
