Just had this posted on a news website here re the impeachment and possible fall out:
What actually happens if US President Donald Trump is impeached and removed from office?
A tweet circulated this week claiming Trump will lose a range of benefits – his presidential pension, travel allowance, Secret Service detail, and ability to run for office again – if he is impeached. That isn’t entirely accurate. Here’s what will happen if Trump gets impeached.
Post-presidency pension
If Trump is only impeached by the House and not charged and removed from office by the Senate, he will still receive his pension.
If the Senate votes to convict him and remove him from office, he will lose it.
Secret Service detail
There isn’t a clear and concise rule on whether the lifetime Secret Service detail will remain for a former president who has been removed from office.
Whether Trump will lose this privilege if he is removed remains up in the air.
Returning to the White House
A ban on Trump running for office again doesn’t happen automatically if he is impeached, found guilty and removed. It requires an additional vote in the Senate.
It needs the majority of senators to approve the ban. However, the water is a little murky as the Constitution doesn’t specifically address the disqualification of a president. Rather it talks about disqualifying someone from “any office of honour, trust or profit”.
If this happens, it would be another first for the US as no president has ever been disqualified.
Travel allowance
There are rumours that former presidents receive a US$1 million travel allowance when they leave office. This is incorrect, according to ABC7.
Those who receive the lifetime Secret Service detail do not have access to an additional travel kitty.
