    If he couldn’t be removed after two(or was it three?) impeachments, and being convicted of 40 something felonies… What is this going to do?

        Thanks, I got confused with this part:

        This triggers a federal impeachment trial in the United States Senate, which can vote by a two-thirds majority to convict an official, removing them from office. The Senate can also further, with just a simple-majority vote, vote to bar an individual convicted in a senate impeachment trial from holding future federal office.

          Ah, yeah. If they reach the 2/3 to remove, then a second vote can be held to ban from office with a lower 50%+1 vote.

    As much as i would love for orange jesus to be tried and relieved of duty, pushing this when you don’t have the votes just diminishes the interest/confidence.
