Thank you! So, this ABC news fact check is wrong, and those that say "Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States" has never been defined, are spinning their wheels, Because if that was ever contested, the SCOTUS would have no problem ruling that applied without question to the Presidency. Again, thank you for setting me straight. That is why I said prove me wrong. I was concerned someone could.

Thank you! So, this ABC news fact check is wrong, and those that say "Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States" has never been defined, are spinning their wheels, The original fact check was correct. The fact check said:
Even a Senate vote to remove Trump would not prohibit him from running in 2024; for the Senate to ban him from the presidency, it would have to hold an additional vote on this question.
This is correct. Impeachment is what the House does. Holding Trial for removal from office is what the Senate does. Holding ineligible for future office is an optional third step in the process that again only the Senate does. They have not always done so in prior impeachment proceedings.
