Forgive me, but what exactly do you mean by that?
What I mean is that it's too easy for corrupt actors in the various states to abuse the amendment in its application. If the amendment is valid and applies to former presidents, then there are few checks against politicians in states from using it for purely partisan purposes. We don't want the 14th amendment to become just another easily abused tool to corruptly influence elections.
