Explain Alcee Hastings. An impeached and removed federal judge now a US Congressman and has been for several terms.

First, I think the rules for congressman are considerably looser than they are for a president. Second, I have only heard talk about an impeached president not being able to run again...I haven’t actually seen the language to that effect.

"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.

He has the very valuable Race card that has no expiration date and no spending limit.

You can impeach, convict and remove without losing your ability to run again for public office.

Were Trump convicted on a vote, (which will NOT happen), they would need a separate vote the penalty to remove Trump’s ability to run for public office again, (they won’t get that either).
