    They passed the 14th amendment and used it to bar a number of senior Confederates from office after the civil war

      Thank you. I see it in section 3. I was vaguely aware something like that happened after the civil war but did not realize it was part of an amendment. Its blows my mind to think the republican party did all this back then.
