Isn’t there a current Democrat Representative from Florida that was impeached as a Federal Judge, removed from office, so he ran and won a seat in congress?

But they didn’t also vote to forbid them from ever holding office.

Yes, Alcee Hastings.

He was convicted and removed from office, but a 55D-45R Senate declined to vote on barring future office.

It was Democrats protecting their own. They couldn't do anything about the bribery charges, but they could control the additional penalty, and they did.
