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.

Congress has the power to make a list of people who are ineligible to hold office if those people previously took an oath to uphold the Constitution and subsequently gave aid and comfort to an insurrection.  If Congress does so, it could only be undone by a federal judge or a 2/3 vote of a subsequent Congress. 

Upshot, this can happen, if Trump doesn't like it, he better hope he gets in front of a sympathetic judge.
