34. Since Trump will be out before any trial can commence,...

and it is doubtful that 17 Republican Senators will vote to convict him, I am leaning toward skipping the trial and passing a 14th Amendment law that bans him from ever holding office again.

Since that only requires a simple majority from both houses, it will pass.
