Trump is impeached for second time. Can he be barred from becoming President again?

特朗普第二次遭弹劾，他会被禁止再次竞选总统吗?

WASHINGTON: Some US lawmakers have said President Donald Trump should be disqualified from holding political office again following his impeachment on Wednesday for inciting a mob that stormed the Capitol as lawmakers were certifying President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

华盛顿：周三，特朗普因煽动暴民冲进国会而遭到弹劾，当时国会议员正在证实当选总统乔•拜登获胜。一些美国议员表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统应该被取消再次担任政治职务的资格。

Now that the House has impeached Trump, the Senate will hold a trial on whether to remove him and possibly bar him from future office.

现在众议院已经弹劾特朗普，参议院将举行一场审判，决定是否罢免他，并可能禁止他将来竞选总统。

Legal experts said disqualification could be accomplished through the impeachment proceedings or the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.

法律专家表示，取消资格可以通过弹劾程序或美国宪法第14修正案来实现

The House approved a single article of impeachment accusing Trump of inciting insurrection when he delivered an incendiary speech to supporters shortly before the pro-Trump mob rampaged the Capitol.

众议院通过了一项弹劾条款，指控特朗普在暴徒冲进国会大厦之前向支持者发表煽动性演讲，煽动暴乱。

Trump is likely to argue at trial that his remarks were free speech protected by the Constitution's First Amendment and that, while he told supporters to "fight," he did not intend it as a literal call to violence.

特朗普可能会在审判中辩称，其言论是受宪法第一修正案保护的言论*由，虽然他告诉支持者“战斗”，但他的本意并不是字面上的呼吁暴力。

Removing an official requires a "conviction" by a two-thirds Senate majority under the Constitution. Under precedent, only a simple majority is needed for disqualification. Historically, that vote only happens after a conviction.

根据宪法，罢免官员需要获得参议院三分之二多数“定罪”。根据先例，取消资格只需要过半数即可。从历史上看，只有定罪后才会进行投票。

Three federal officials in US history have been disqualified through impeachment proceedings. All three were federal judges.

美国历史上有三名联邦官员通过弹劾程序被取消资格。这三人都是联邦法官。

There is some debate over the scope of the disqualification clause and whether it applies to the presidency, said Brian Kalt, a law professor at Michigan State University.

密歇根州立大学法学教授布莱恩·卡尔特(Brian Kalt)说，关于取消资格条款的范围，以及是否适用于总统职位，存在一些争议。

Can Trump be disqualified if he is not convicted by the Senate?

如果特朗普没有被参议院定罪，他会被取消竞选资格吗?

This is uncharted legal territory, and there is no clear answer, scholars said.

学者们表示，这是一个未知的法律领域，没有明确的答案。
