Can a president who is removed from office run for president again?

Just thinking aloud...the election is 11 months away. If Trump were removed from office (won't happen), could he run in the upcoming election? That would be the funniest thing to ever happen....the Senate votes him out...and then the American People re-elect him.

Just a thought.

This actually almost happened with a City Court judge who was removed by the La. Supreme Court a few years back. They had a special election to fill his vacated seat, and he entered the special election for his vacated seat. (Subsequently the Court intervened and said he couldn't do that....but many were nervous b/c there was no law that said he couldn't.)

Alcee Hastings was impeached from his federal judgeship, then won a congressional seat.

Yes he can run again if removed.

If the Senate removed him it would destroy the GOP as we know it.

According to the Constitution he would be prevented from ever holding elected office if convicted

Fortunately we will never have to see whether or not a President can.....at least for damned sure until January, 2025.

He will not be removed from office.
That is not their goal.
Their goal is to effect the 2020 election in the Dems favor.

As far as I know yes he could but if he were I have zero doubt the next step would be to have Trump arrested


They have to send a messsge that this can never happen again



How dare Trump beak up they norm in DC
