FWIW I’m not convinced it’s an effective use of time/effort for someone who won’t run in 2024. |
Disqualification still requires an impeachment conviction in the Senate, it is only after conviction in the Senate a further judgement of disqualification can be made via majority vote.
Quote:
The Constitution provides for removal from office on conviction and
also allows the further judgment of disqualification from holding further office. U.S. Const. art. I § 3 clause 7.
No vote is required on removal following conviction, since removal follows automatically from conviction under this constitutional provision. Deschler Ch 14 § 13.9.
But the further judgment of disqualification from holding future office requires a majority vote.
