I see nothing legal about this whole thing. Someone said it takes a majority vote of the senate to prevent a convicted president from ever holding office again. The constitution doesn't say that. It says 2/3 to convict, period.
2/3 is required to impeach. A majority prevents him from running for office again.
A majority in the house is required to impeach, 2/3 in the senate to convict. The constitution says nothing about a majority to prevent him from holding office again. In the past, the senate has only ruled a convicted person can't hold office again 3 times, all 3 were federal judges. In each case, they used a 2/3 vote so the precedent is there. Before they can bar him from office, though, they need to convict him and 2/3 is required for that.
