Once impeached, AnusMouth is disqualified from holding Federal office (Art. I, Sec. 3)
How is Alcee Hastings a House member? He was impeached AND convicted and removed by the US Senate as a Judge before.
From what I have found, the future barring of federal office holding needs a further vote, even though the Constitutional wording sure doesn't look like it does.

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, 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.
