Does Impeachment put an automatic stop to all new nominations?

[RicROC]

I was wondering. Does Impeachment of a President put a hold on all future nominees to the federal bench, including the SCOTUS?

Furthermore, if Impeachment does put a hold on nominations by the sitting President, then wouldn't it be a wise strategy to Impeach Trump now, so that we can rest assured for the next 18 months, he will not be able to put a new judge on the SCOTUS?

1. Not as far as I know

I'm pretty sure Clinton kept on nominating people after he was impeached.

2. Nothing fully obstructs his powers unless he is successfully impeached AND Senate votes to remove

(or the 25th amendment is instituted)

3. Don't think so. The Senate can confirm

All new nominees by a simple majority vote.

4. Of course not.

Where on Earth did you get that idea? Until removed from office he’s the president, with all powers and privileges associated with the position.

6. Perhaps they got it from the same people who wrongly claim that a president "under impeachment"

has no power to pardon federal crimes.

7. Right? The Constitution isn't a particularly long document

and should be read by all Americans. I genuinely believe that fully 90% of people haven’t read it, or have only read bits here and there.

5. No.

It doesn't put a stop to anything a president has the power to do, including pardons.

8. No. But the Senate could decide to block all appointees....

Though that would not happen to tRump with Moscow Mitch running he Senate.

9. No

There appear to be no tiles of procedure.
