Does a president lose their right to vote when impeached?

Given that he has most likey committed a felony in order to get impeached and convicted, it is likely most states would deny him the right to vote. If he is convicted or pleads guilty to a crime prior to impeachment, he would likely lose his voting rights in most states for a period of time. See Sources and related links for additional information.


Where does it state in the US Constitution that felons cannot possess firearms?

You were convicted with a federal felony 8 years ago. Know how in what way can you receive licease for a firearm in CA Does that really mean I totally lost my Contitutional Rights.?

Basically, it means you can't, and yes, you have lost some rights, but not necessarily for life. It is possible to have your rights restored, but for information on that, you really should contact an attorney familiar with the process.
