18 US Code §2383 Rebellion or insurrection
Gohmert is not only a sitting Congressman, he's also an officer of the court, a former judge.

He is directly advocating violent rebellion. This appears the clearest possible violation of: 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection pic.twitter.com/mbdjPTxPt9
There's understandably been a lot of talk today about the 25th Amendment and the Impeachment Clause. We should also focus on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies those who engage in insurrection against the Constitution of the United States from holding office. pic.twitter.com/Cr4yX5mWRY

25th Amendment
** Pence still refuses to invoke the 25th, even after Trump put him and his family in danger in the Capitol invasion**
Also, Trump's lawyer, Lin Wood has made repeated calls for Pence's execution
MAGA QAnon Terrorist lawyer Lin Wood is on Parler tonight telling his followers to shoot Mike Pence.

Have no pity for @VP. He is a corrupt fool who thought he could play a gangster to his benefit. Pence began his career losing a Congressional race after he was caught stealing from his campaign to pay his mortgage. Now he ends his career getting caught trying to steal a country. https://t.co/2Yj0vitHpe

14th Amendment - Wow, Pelosi is considering the 14th amendment too
That will be the best for our democracy if she uses it to unseat the GOP traitors that engaged in insurrection
I just introduced H.Res. 25.

It would, under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, investigate and expel the GOP members of Congress who attempted to overturn the election and incited a white supremacist attack.
Call your rep to sign on. We can’t have unity without accountability.
Wow, in letter to her caucus, @SpeakerPelosi raises the 14th amendment, which refers to not allowing people to serve who engaged in insurrection against the US, or gave aid and comfort to those who did.
