:: What office does Trump currently hold from which he is being removed? ::
Here is the fly in the ointment.
Impeachment is used to remove an elected or appointed (requiring advise&consent) person from office.
If that person is removed from office by 2/3rds vote, then the deliberative body (Senate, in this case) can take up the question of “denial of further elected/appointed service; a majority yes/no vote.
The second can’t happen without the former.
The official must FIRST be removed from office if found culpable for the articles of impeachment, then the denial can be asked.
The “combining of the question” as a run-around, will be disallowed according to the language of the rule (Constitution).
Oh I fully understand that. I attended Professor Dersh's lecture.....
