The Chief Justice shall preside over all trials of impeachment save when the impeachment is against a sitting member of the Supreme Court. No person shall be convicted on any article of impeachment without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of the Senate.

Correction:

Since one cannot impeach a senator, impeachment will be defined as expulsion from the senate. The procedures are operating under expulsion rather than impeachment

What?

What?

A "senator" cannot be impeached", a senator can only be expelled or censored.

How was this conclusion reached? Since it seems a rather sudden shift in constitutional interpretation, without much explanation.
