When convicted in an impeachment trial what are the penalties?

I need to know this for my government class. I have looked everywhere. preferably the major three punishments.|||Removal from office. Once that's done they can potentially be tried for their crimes in court if appropriate.|||Article 1, Section 3 of the Constitution states, "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."





It should be noted that Congressmen and Senators are nut subject to impeachment, only censure or removal by the legislative body as a whole.|||In the US only removal from office is the punishment in other cultures there may be punishment as they see fit|||There is only one and it is removal from office.|||Removal from office.
