But you can remove them without disqualifying them from holding an office in the future.

One would have to be in office in order to remove that person from office.  If you can't remove them, you can't disqualify them either.

See:  Article II, Section 4

The only persons who can be removed are the President, Vice President, or any civil officers.  Donald Trump is currently none of those.

Agree completely about someone who has left office.  I guess I misread what you were saying.  I took what you said to mean that both happen automatically when one is impeached.

No, I was saying that you can't disqualify unless you have removed first - which can't be done.  But yes, under ordinary circumstances, you could vote to remove without disqualifying.

It doesn't matter. ALL the Dims have to run on is "Bad Orange Man",so they are going to do anything and everything they can do to keep him in the press. If they lose Trump,the only thing they will have to talk about is themselves,and they just can't allow that to happen.
