You are going around in a loop, at this point.

Your interpretation requires inference upon inference

Says the guy who can't find language and uses this:

No other reason to define them as such.


as the backbone to his argument.

My argument is purely based on the words. There are no words in that clause creating any association/requirement between the 2 processes.

There are words specifically separating the 2 processes.

I'll give you ONE more chance

What specific language makes a Senate "conviction" a requirement to future prosecution?


I highlighted the part you've failed to respond with, previously.

*ETA: I'll add again

How was Hastings removed by the Senate AFTER he was acquitted in criminal court, if your stance is that a conviction by the Senate is required first prior to criminal prosecution?

The colon, homie. The colon.

quote:

colon is a punctuation mark that is used to divide a sentence. The colon resembles two dots positioned vertically (:). The colon has a variety of uses, some of which include introducing a list, introducing an explanation, introducing a quote, and connecting two related sentences.

Maybe he wanted to take his chances with the higher bar of proof at criminal trial which seemed to be a good call since he was acquitted.
