I sort of question how this works in practice. Every Senator will be under irresistible pressure to say how they voted. If they tell the truth, it’s no different from a public ballot. If they lie, the result looks illegitimate & there’s enormous pressure to reveal the roll call.

I cannot envision any realistic scenario where Trump is impeached & convicted, Senators’ public statements don’t align with the secret tally, and the public just sort of accepts that.
