§ 779. The next clause is, that Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further, than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honour, trust, or profit, under the United States. But the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment, according to law. ~ Supreme Court Justice, Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
