1. Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-14/section-3/disqualification-clause#:~:text=No%20person%20shall%20be%20a,a%20member%20of%20any%20State

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.

I think defiance of a judicial order fits the description and should automatically remove the President from office should he defy the court.

And since when was a convicted felon, who couldn't get hired at McDonald's or Walmart, eligible to run for POTUS?! Not to mention, in her second book a few years back, Mary Trump brought up the 14th Amendment! If she's familiar with it, what's wrong with the Republicans?! Don't a few of them have law degrees??
