    Wasn’t the law originally applied to folks who weren’t convicted? That would make requiring a conviction wrong.

      It was after the civil war, a general amnesty had been declared nobody was being tried.

      Furthermore they where obviously guilty, with a serious paper trail of a rebal government to back up their guilt.

      Trump is garbage who defied his oath and committed treason… But he still deserves a trial first. And that trial should have already completed.
