Congressional Democrats are moving to impeach President Donald Trump and then go a step further: To ban him from running for office again. That penalty has never been imposed on an American president, but other countries have done it. From Peru to Brazil, from Italy to Israel, leaders who have been found guilty of wrongdoing have been suspended from electoral politics for years or even permanently.
