Constitution 101 - Pop Quiz

If, as appears inevitable, Donald Trump goes to trial in the Senate for removal from office after impeachment, how many votes would be needed to deny him not only the Oval Office, but any office of trust or honor under the United States?

Question 2: assume that Mr. Trump is indeed removed from office.  Can he then be charged and tried for criminal conduct carried out while he was in office?

Full disclosure - the first item above is a trick question;  the answer is not  67 votes, or 2/3 of the Senate.
