Chances of that 2/3 at present, are slim and none-slim was seen riding a fast horse out of DC.
The Ohio representative, Trafficant, the guy with the racoon toupee, was convicted and sentenced while still serving in the House. The "Beam Me Up, Mr. Speaker" guy.
I don't believe he was able to vote from his cell.
What happens if a Senator or Rep is convicted of a serious crime? Example - Omar whatever her real name is, the Somalian cockroach, is being investigated for not just financial crimes but immigration fraud. Suppose she is convicted. Does she get a free pass, or other?

Interesting Question. I attempted to research that. About the best that I can say is.. even if arrested, sentenced, and thrown in jail, congress critters are still in office. Only if expelled by 2/3 vote does that change.

No one said he was able to vote. That was not the question. Removal takes 2/3 vote period.
Thanks for the reminder about him.
