npub1kpwlxpzkxfmuxjmzc2wp3rf9vjg0sgydmlhsnrgqr3maf59h86qqdxxzz4 (npub1kpw…xzz4) Unfortunately, being found guilty, even imprisoned, does not in fact bar him from office.
The only hope of that lies in the 14th Amendment, section 3:
"No person shall... hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, ... who, having previously taken an oath, ... as an officer of the United States, ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same"
I understand there are legal moves on to disqualify him on exactly these grounds, but it'll take a while and will presumably end up with the less-than-impartial Supreme Court.
