(32,025 posts)The second question is yes he will get lifetime SS protection no matter what happens. Congress can't change laws through the impeachment process.

If not the Rochester one, something similar - but it would be fun to seen Mr New York Real Estates shipped to the midwest.

(28,079 posts)There's an empty, for-profit in western Minnesota that closed several year ago and he could be moved there (really I don't want him in the state, but we seem to have facilities for him.) Some irony in handing to a for profit group.
Or, given his love of destroying national monuments, he could go to Alcatraz. I would have no objection if the Park Service continued to give tours of it while he was there.

(3,426 posts)but it's off into uncharted territory. I suppose if one were to go there in blind sight, the answer may be hidden within the question.
You have (in prison resulting from conviction odiously (lol)( secret service) and impeached or removed. Protective custody could amount to residential confinement under secret service supervision. That's just a wild guess ,I mean there is a lot to consider in that particular question. And when you go there it begs the question about the legitimacy of his having been elected and the legitimate powers thereof.
Kind of like a prosecuting attorney having prosecuted many cases and secured many convictions some of which are proven to be fraudulent ,so a crooked ,corrupt self serving sob.
Now every case the sob prosecuted goes into review -and so the revolving door swings.
See where it takes you? What if he's not really the president, than what ?

(9,186 posts)After his term, Congress limited SS protection for future former Presidents to ten years. GWB is set to lose his (unless Trump extends it, as Obama did for Cheney) on January 20th.

(42,862 posts)When the Former Presidents Act took effect, there were two living former presidents: Herbert Hoover and Harry S. Truman. Dwight D. Eisenhower was the first president to fall under the act upon leaving office.
The original act provided for lifetime Secret Service protection for former presidents. In 1997, it was reduced to 10 years for presidents taking office after 1997. The 1997 amendment was reverted by the Former Presidents Protection Act of 2012 (Pub.L. 112257).[2] All living former presidents and their spouses after Dwight D. Eisenhower are now entitled to receive lifetime Secret Service protection.[3]
