Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

How would they justify 2/3 of Senate voting for this if they acquire him?

Read it more closely. They don't need 2/3 of the senate to vote FOR it. They will just declare that Trump engaged in insurrection, say he can't run again because 14th amendment, and then they need 2/3 of both the house and senate to go AGAINST it to say that Trump can run again.

Interesting. I read it to mean they need 2/3 of both houses. Not combined. When do they ever combine votes like that?
