Murgos posted:I assume they could come up with all kinds of creative penalties but it’s not a criminal trial and shouldn’t be used as one. Nope-- quote:Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States The only allowable penalties following impeachment conviction are "get out" and, optionally, "stay out."

HootTheOwl posted:Then what happened to Clinton? The GOP failing to convict Clinton actually made him mega popular on his way out the door. That was largely one of the big reasons why the Dems pissed themselves in terror for so long at the prospect of trying to take a run at Trump. "Oh god, oh god, what if we Clinton him? I'm scared guys  "
