Either way, once the oath is intentionally violated they must be removed from office to never sit in a position of trust.In 1869-70 there was an agitation to prosecute the leaders of the Confederacy for Treason. Notice this was 4-5 years after the war.
A fella named Lysander Spooner, who was also an abolitionist, wrote of series of essays in 1870 called No Treason wherein he utterly destroyed the arguments of those calling for prosecution.
