Essentially, Trump can be barred from holding ANY public office, not just the presidency, because his is already disqualified.
It requires Supreme Court enforcement and Trump can raise a lot of vacation money to pay off the justices.
They addressed that in the paper. If just one supervisor of elections removes Trump from the ballot under Section 3, Trump would have the right of appeal. The authors don’t fancy his chances in front of a Supreme Court with so many originalists on the bench.
