Problem is, if the president is merely impeached, nothing happens, he stays in office. If the President is impeached, and the senate convicts, then the president is removed from office and never allowed to hold office again.

That’s why Hillary should have been impeached as Sec’y of State (which can be done after the person leaves office). This would have made her ineligible for the Presidency.

Correct. My bad. I was speaking historically and thought that Nixon had been impeached. But he wasn't. Ford pardoned him for crimes he may have committed.
