No matter what the Senate does to this judge, he will still be eligible to serve in Congress, since impeached officers may only be disqualified from serving in offices of honor, trust or profit under the U.S., which excludes the legislative branch.

Au contraire. 'twas probably the 'profit' part that got him. ;)

In addition, the Senate also voted 94–2 to bar Porteous from holding federal office in the future. So no one need worry about him getting elected to Congress, as impeached judge Alcee Hastings did.
