I guess I don't understand your comment then. Currently to convict an impeached president requires the vote of a 2/3 supermajority of the Senate. That's the only way to get them out; it doesn't happen any other way except the 25th Amendment, which wasn't really intended as a punishment.

On the question of how long the US can continue to exist, I just looked up some demographics data and I see that the white population is declining in terms of overall percentage of the population. If the trend continues, by 2045 whites will be below 50% of the population, so if the US can hold it together for another 20 or so years, who knows. I doubt I'll be around much past 2045 so it will be up to the next generation(s).
Re-read the amendment. If you’ve taken an oath to defend the constitution and then take part in or support an insurrection, you can no longer hold any civil or military position in the US government. It doesn’t require a 2/3 vote.
