    Isn’t the opposite true though as well? Can’t red states just make up reasons to remove biden if a conviction isn’t required?

      It is insurrection specific so states would have the burden of proving (if they cared about proof) Biden was engaged with an insurrection.

      Sure, if they could identify an instance in which he “engaged in insurrection or rebellion […], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof”. Biden has never committed such an offense, so in order for red states to attempt this they’d have to fabricate facts and have a sufficient number of state officials go along with it, essentially The Big Lie 2.0.
