[EL] After impeachment and removal

[Doug Spencer]

Larry,

Adding to Rick's point, the vote whether to disqualify from holding future
office requires a separate Senate vote (akin to sentencing) after the
Senate votes to convict. Interestingly (problematically?) the vote for
disqualification requires a bare majority vote. See more about the history
of these votes here: https://nyti.ms/2p4dWQh

Best,
Doug
