Section 3 prohibits the election or appointment of a person to any federal or state office who engaged in insurrection, rebellion, or treason while occupying any of certain offices. However, a two-thirds vote by each House of the Congress can override this limitation. In 1898, the Congress enacted a general removal of the Section 3 limitation.[214][215] In 1975, the citizenship of Confederate general Robert E. Lee was restored by a joint congressional resolution, retroactive to June 13, 1865.[216] In 1978, pursuant to Section 3, the Congress posthumously removed the service ban from Confederate president Jefferson Davis.[217]
Section 3 was used to prevent Socialist Party of America member Victor L. Berger, convicted of violating the Espionage Act for his anti-militarist views, from taking his seat in the House of Representatives in 1919 and 1920.[218] However, his conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court in Berger v. United States (1921). Berger was then elected and seated to three successive terms in the 1920s.[219]
Section 3 was cited in the second impeachment of Donald Trump as a reason to bar Trump from holding future office.[220] It is disputed whether Section 3 can be used as a potential "alternate path to disqualification [from office]" if the Senate votes to acquit Trump of the impeachment charge.[221][222][223][224]
