>> I would not be surprised if the Dems move to make the provision that Trump can never hold office, which is a separate vote, a simple majority vot

I don’t think they can constitutionally do that. It wouldn’t pass SCOTUS. I’ve been wrong before.

“The United States Constitution forbids legislative bills of attainder: in federal law under Article I, Section 9, and in state law under Article I, Section 10. The fact that they were banned even under state law reflects the importance that the Framers attached to this issue. “

The are on the face of it, judicial bills of attainder. See trying to acquire firearm after felony, or misdemeanor domestic charge...
