@no1maraudersaid You're talking gibberish. A House member isn't a "civil officer of the United States" either for impeachment purposes and can be expelled by a 2/3 House majority for misconduct.
Belknap is precedent for someone out of office still being impeached for conduct in office. There is no precedent to the contrary.
Belknap isn't a "civil officer of the United States" if he is out of office is he?
"In January of 1799, after three days of exhaustive arguments, the Senate deliberated behind closed doors, then voted on two resolutions. On January 10, 1799, the Senate failed to pass the following resolution by a vote of 11–14:
That William Blount was a civil officer of the United States within the meaning of the C ...[text shortened]... uld not be impeached because he had already resigned and the majority in Belknap rejected that idea.
"So the Senate rejected the idea that a Senator was "a civil officer of the United States within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States"
Of course, he was no longer a senator.
You are claiming that applies to any senator. What is your source of information?
@metal-brainsaid "Senators may be immune from impeachment by the House, but they are subject to removal for misconduct in office."
How?
My God. Do you even read anything that is posted?
No1 posted the direct text for you which explains the decision making process, the difference between impeachment and punishment and the ability of each house to remove someone on office without impeachment.

I asked No1 "how?" and he didn't explain it yet. MORON!

What part of the Constitutional provision I already cited that provides that each house of Congress can discipline and even expel a member for misconduct was unclear to you?

@metal-brainsaid You have not proven that and you know it.
OMG.
I already cited the provision in Article I, Section 5 of the US Constitution which says each house of Congress can discipline and even expel a member. Try reading the Constitution for a change.

You didn't copy and paste anything to prove it.
Why the need for impeachment then?
