Impeachment [i.e., House of Representatives charging a "crime"]
*and* conviction by the Senate removing the judge. Impeachment
doesn't result in removal. Only conviction of the offenses for
which the official was impeached.

One of the few judges impeached by the House and convicted by the
Senate got his revenge. Election to the House of Representatives
that impeached him. He's still serving, having been reelected
regularly.
