After the Senate bans the ex-president from holding any federal office...

[El Supremo]

can they also revoke his pension? He's going to be broke real soon and need it.

1. No, they can't

Every former president is entitled to the pension UNLESS they were impeached, convicted and removed from office.

Trump can no longer be removed, so the exception can't apply to him and, therefore, he's entitled to the pension.

Obviously, it never occurred to the drafters that a president would be impeached at the end of his term but not removed until after he left office. They may fix that with an amendment, but it's probably not a top priority right now.

2. $200,000 per year.

Ain't gonna buy too many gold toilets with that. No, trump will need to keep bleeding his rubes.

3. Yep.

It's a lot of money to most of us, but it won't even pay a month's interest on his mounting debt.

4. I doubt he is going to be "broke real soon".

I have been reading that post for 5 years now or that he was broke already. So far no one has provided any evidence of it. He did not take a salary so I doubt he needs the pension.
