impeached and convicted in the senate. Not in a criminal case.
Indicted.
They are supposed to vote now on forever barring him from ever holding elected office in Illinois again.
House impeaches; Senate convicts.

Due process means you can’t be rushed off to prison without a trial.
Being impeached is not the same thing as being imprisoned.

To remove a government official from office, first you impeach that official, then you convict him.
Impeachment + Conviction = Removal
