    From your own article:

    In Great Britain conviction on an impeachment has resulted in fine and imprisonment and even in execution, whereas in the United States the penalties extend no further than removal and disqualification from office.

    So removal only. Which might even nor make sense, because he was never confirmed by the Senate. Trump can just immediately appoint him again.

      What? “Has resulted”. That’s a possible historical result. Impeachment is a process.
