To: plain talk; Yo-Yo
“However, make no mistake: If the United States Senate can get 67 votes to impeach Trump, they WILL also vote to bar him from future office. “

Correct. It does not seem likely they get the votes but would not rule it out. Trump has few friends.

OK, now tell me what would the enforcement of that vote entail to prevent him from taking office if he was duly elected?   I do not believe it exists.

C'mon, really? In order to be sworn in as President, you have to be eligible under the Constitution. 35 years old, natural born citizen, and not have been impeached, found guilty, and had the penalty imposed by the Senate.

Under your logic, if AOC were 'duly elected' then she should be sworn in as President, even though she is not yet 35 years of age.
