One of the consequences of impeachment is never being able to hold federal office again. But I wonder, does that mean Trump loses his pension AND Secret Service protection also?

He hasn't been impeached. Even though the house passed it. He was never convicted in the senate. That makes the impeachment null and void.
He's not going to be impeached either

I hope all the dirty laundry of these crooked politicians come out in the next 2 weeks! You can only lie, cheat and steal for so long, before the truth comes out or you get caught. Trump said he was going to take back this country for us and get all the riff raff out and he’s done his best. Let’s hope he gets all the .

It isn't over until the 20th, and maybe not even then.

I thought it was removal from office that precluded ever being able to hold federal office again. So, President Trump would have to be impeached in the House and then tried again in the Senate, which would have to vote to remove him from office, before he would be unable to hold another federal office, at least as I understand it. Am I wrong?

I think that is inaccurate - the impeachment conviction has several consequences.

If a President is Impeached they lose the pension and all added benefits the office has.

Impeachment (or talk of it) will be the dog and pony show that the Democrats use (and the media promote) in order to divert our attention from whatever heinous legislation they can get passed while they control the House, Senate, and White House....and Republicans in the Senate will go right along with it; they hate Trump/us as much as the Democrats do.

Did Bill Clinton lose his?

He wasn't convicted by the Senate. I think at this point the GOP will go along with the conviction to prevent Trump from doing anything in the future.

I also think they are going after the him in the family after he leaves office.

@tracycoyle they are out of time.

@eschatologyguy there is actually no prohibition from voting for impeachment after someone leaves office - most people just think it is foolish. But of course, that never stopped the Dems before.

@tracycoyle the October surprise has been moved to January.

There is a difference between Leftist posturing and reality. How many things have the Leftists sworn to be true have proved to be utterly false? By far the majority of everything they say is wrong. In fact, the only things they have managed to achieve has been by deception, fraud, bribery and intimidation. Such achievements are invalid and never last very long.

And yet, they now control the executive and legislative branches of government, the education system, Hollywood, most other institutions of government, etc. Granted, their achievements have no lasting power, but if they can steal an election, they can legislate themselves into office forever. Sorry, I’m just down on everything right now.

@Jmann44492403. "The darkest hour is just before the dawn." Not only does God who is truth, and goodness, protect the faithful, He uses EVERYTHING for good.

When the Nazis marched into Paris, and DeGaulle wept, the Resistance devoted their very lives to the expulsion of the NAZIS at that dark hour, and it came to pass.

The Japanese marched thousands to their death at Bataan and still surrendered three years later.

Alexandr Solzhenistzen was banished to Siberia, and lived to see Stalin dead and to envision the end of the Soviet Union.

China has realized its pure communism a failure and has adopted hybrid capitalism to keep its economy going.

Take heart my friend. The Good ALWAYS defeats the evil.

@TimTuolomne I don’t believe that our darkest hour has yet occurred, but I appreciate your hopeful view, and, ultimately, I know how it all ends. Revival or bust (stolen from talk show host Steve Deace).
