Does a president lose their right to vote when impeached?

Given that he has most likey committed a felony in order to get impeached and convicted, it is likely most states would deny him the right to vote. If he is convicted or pleads guilty to a crime prior to impeachment, he would likely lose his voting rights in most states for a period of time.

Name the amendments that guarantee or address voting rights?

Answer:(15, 19, 23, 24, 26) explained below.The 15th addresses African-American voting rights The 19th, women's suffrage (i.e. right to vote)The 23rd can be included in this answer since it has to do with the Electoral College.The 24th amendment removed the Poll Tax. From Wikipedia's page on the 24th amendment: (see source 1)"The poll tax was part of a series of laws intended to marginalize black Americans from politics so far as practicable without violating the Fifteenth Amendment, which required that voting not be limited by "race, color, or previous condition of servitude."Being charged a fee in order to vote can be seen as a way to prevent impoverished citizens from participating in the democratic process. So, the tax was declared unconstitutional, and this amendment was ratified to correct the injustice.Finally, the 26th gives persons 18 years of age or older the right to vote. (This is also the fastest amendment to ever move through Congress. This fact has a lot to do with the Vietnam War that was being waged at the time. Many protesters held signs reading, "Old enough to fight, Old enough to vote" and similar sentiments.Source 1:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Background

not really because she was just telling the government that women voting was just as important as men and African American men voting. see the Governor let African American men vote but not women and that was really rude. the American constitution stated that everyone was free to vote but that was not true so the women said that it was not fair that men got to vote and the American constitution stated that everyone could vote when they could not. so now you see why Carrie Chapman Catt was not risking her life.
