That addresses barring from office as part of an impeachment trial, got it.

I think what I saw might have been an argument that Trump could potentially be barred from office under another section of the Constitution dealing with insurrection, even in the absence of an impeachment conviction. I think Lawrence Tribe explained it, but of course unless Trump personally led the charge on the Capitol it could be a legal stretch to invoke it.

I'm no expert on all this stuff & I've been doing my best to learn, so I'm sincerely grateful for all of your legal clarifications. Know that your time spent typing is not wasted.
