Does impeachment conviction necessarily imply removal from office?
<p>The relevant bits of <a href="https://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec3.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Article 1 Section 3</a> state that:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States</p>
</blockquote>

<p>This seems to imply that, if convicted, the Senate <em>may</em> then choose to remove the president, or to bar them from holding future offices.  It is not immediately clear that a conviction necessarily implies either of these punishments.  </p>

<p>Does impeachment conviction necessarily imply removal from office?</p>

<p>Article II, Section 4 of The Constitution says</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The President, Vice President and all civil Officers  of  the  United 
  States,  <strong>shall</strong>  be  removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
  Conviction of,  Treason,  Bribery,  or  other  high  Crimes  and
  Misdemeanors.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Removal therefore follows automatically from conviction.</p>
