Which argument is true based on this excerpt from the US Constitution?

A) Officers found guilty of impeachment have immunity from any form of legal proceedings in cases of civil or criminal charges.
B) Officers found guilty of impeachment may lose their office but may still hold any other public office.
C) Officers found guilty of only impeachment and no other criminal charge are exempt from any other punishment except removal from office.
D) Officers found guilty of impeachment are liable to further trial and judgment for impeachment proceedings after removal from office.



Answer :

D) Officers found guilty of impeachment are liable to further trial and judgment for impeachment proceedings after removal from office.

Evidence:

-removal from office
-disqualification to hold ... any Office of honor ...
-liable and subject to trail, judgment, punishment

The correct answer is the following: option D. The argument that is true based on the excerpt from the US Constitution provided in the question is that officers found guilty of impeachment are liable to further trial and judgment for impeachment proceedings after removal from office.

The passage states how when being judge in cases of impeachment the punishment shall not go further than to get removed from Office and being disqualified to hold any position in another public office. But it is also the accused's right to have further trial and judgments proceedings once they have already been removed from their office.
