[EL] After impeachment and removal

[Steve Hoersting]

*The Senate also decides future Presidential debarment... and by a majority vote*

It would seem that the Senate, then, operates, on the question of re-election, as a kind of Electoral College.

So I cannot wait for all of today’s principled Electoral College opponents to rail against — rather than cling to — this debarment procedure.

Interestingly (problematically?) the vote for disqualification requires a bare majority vote. See more about the history of these votes here: https://nyti.ms/2p4dWQh
