Forget the 14th Amendment. Here's a foolproof solution to keeping Trump from running again:

[onenote]

25. Several reasons why this is highly unlikely to happen

First, someone would propose an amendment requiring members of the House and Senate and candidates for the House and Senate to do make the same disclosure (just as they are required to make the same disclosures at the President/VP under the law today). A large majority wouldn't want to be subject to that obligation nor would they want to vote on it. So it simply never will get anywhere.

Second, given the make-up of the Supreme Court it is far from certain it would survive scrutiny. Scalia was not a fan of the Ethics in Government law and his acolytes make up a majority of the Court today.

If by some chance -- unlikely as it might be -- such a proposal was voted on and passed into law, Trump (and others) would sue to strike it down. That lawsuit wouldn't come immediately -- it would come only when the deadline to comply was nearing, or after some attempt to enforce it (which currently, I believe, is a fine of up to $50,000) occurs. The amount of time it would take for the courts to resolve the issue would likely mean there would be no fear of having to comply before election day. And if by some horrible chance Trump was to win and still refuse to comply, the Senate would still acquit him if there was an attempt to impeach him for non-compliance.

It's a nice thought -- just not a particularly realistic one.
