[Reily]

I knew he was impeached as a federal judge.
I thought that was implicit in my previous posts.

The sad thing is, the feds couldn’t deliver a guilty verdict ton him. So as revenge back to “da man” he got elected to the House. An office he shouldn’t have been allowed to take, but he played “The Card” and so there he is!

sorry...I must have misunderstood....and had I read better, this discussion would have ended sooner. Plus I was wrong about how many articles he was convicted on tho they did convict on the bribery.

here's the senate overview of events that includes a timeline.

I missed the bolded blurb that answered my question re: senate voting on punishment.

The trial committee presented its report on October 2, 1989. Sixteen days later, the trial began in the U.S. Senate, with prosecution and defense given two hours to summarize their cases. The Senate deliberated in closed session on October 19, 1989. The following day, the Senate voted on 11 of the 17 articles of impeachment, convicting Hastings, by the necessary two-thirds vote, on 8 articles (1-5, 7-9). On two articles (6, 17) the vote fell short of the required majority to convict. On article 11, the Senate voted 95 not guilty to 0 guilty. Having achieved the necessary majority vote to convict on 8 articles, the Senate’s president pro tempore (Robert C. Byrd) ordered Hastings removed from office. The Senate did not vote to disqualify him from holding future office.

sorry for the hassle.
