      But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

      From the text 2/3 of the house and the senate need to explicitly vote to allow it.

        Yup, the constitution just says if you do it. Doesn’t say you have to be convicted of doing it in court, or anything like that. Just being involved you are automatically disqualified and Congress has to vote to override that.
