Ty. My hypothesis comes from the impeachment and conviction of Alcee Hastings. He was a fed judge, got impeached, convicted 95 0 on a couple of the charges. He was removed as a judge but no vote was held to disqualify him after the conviction by more than 2/3rds. He later became a federal representative. Therefore we know conviction on impeachment and removal does not disqualify a person from office. The question remains is a majority vote by the Senate enough or does it require 2/3rds conviction beforehand? We shall see. Maybe Trump isn't interested, we'll learn that if he fights disqualification
