All the talk about impeachment and/or the 25th Amendment seems unnecessary. Here's what your 14th amendment has to say about it:
It would appear from this that Trump, along with every single senator and representative who either called for or supported the riot is already out of office. There's nothing in the amendment about a vote being required to remove them (although there might be some case law and congressional procedures of which I'm unaware), just a 2/3 vote to let them back in.

Quote: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.
