California rules in Trump's favour after he gets barred from Maine and Colorado, can he run for President?

Hindustan Times  

Hours after Maine considered Donald Trump ineligible to run for US President in the state California’s secretary of state has declined to remove his name from the primary ballot. New York Times reported, Secretary of State Shirley Weber, a Democrat, had indicated in recent days that she was inclined to keep Mr. Trump on the ballot based on her interpretation of California law. The measure reads: “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.” Trump's arguments: let voters decide Trump's lawyers claim, it's not clear Section 3 applies to the president - as the language used in the draft says “an officer of the United States” which doesn't mean the president, they contend.
