Would his running for future office also depend on what the conviction was and the punishment?

Like the Alcee Hastings deal he ran for future office?

Yes, the Senate has three options after a conviction:

1) Conviction in public of the offense(s) charged as sole punishment.

2) Conviction AND removal from office.

3) Conviction AND removal AND disqualification from future service.
