 5 impeachments shall be composed of the president of the senate, the
 6 senators, or the major part of them, and the judges of the court of
 7 appeals, or the major part of them. Where an impeachment and a trial of
 8 impeachment may proceed under this section against a person holding
 9 office, such impeachment and trial of impeachment may be brought or
 10 proceed notwithstanding that such person has resigned from that office.
 11 On the trial of an impeachment against the governor or lieutenant-gover-

 13 senate shall act as a member of the court. No judicial officer shall
 14 exercise [his or her] such judicial officer's office after articles of
 15 impeachment against [him or her] such judicial officer shall have been
 16 preferred to the senate, until [he or she] such judicial officer shall
 17 have been acquitted. Before the trial of an impeachment, the members of
 18 the court shall take an oath or affirmation truly and impartially to try
 19 the impeachment according to the evidence, and no person shall be
 20 convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present.
 21 Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to
 22 removal from office, or removal from office and disqualification to hold
 23 and enjoy any public office of honor, trust, or profit under this state,
 24 or where a person has resigned from office before final judgment is
 25 rendered, disqualification to hold and enjoy any public office of honor,
