Apparently if they convict after Trump’s term, he would still


Be disqualified from running again. Which actually might be attractive to enough repubs to garner enough votes.

Other possibility I heard raised is censure under sec 3 of the 14th amendment, which would be for inciting insurrection, and again, would disqualify him from federal office in the future.

People think invoking the 25th is an immediate remedy, but it isn’t. That too requires overwhelming congressional support if Trump contests, so it wouldn’t happen in the next 10 or 11 days.

The only way Trump leaves by the end of his term is resignation, which ain’t happening. That would be best for the country, but disqualification from future office wouldn’t hurt.
