      Not sure if "enacted by the GHQ" is correct, they were behind it, but not sure they "enacted" it.

"幣原内閣でも留任したが公職追放となった"

this doesn't refer to a single purge but was, as daijs puts it, a mechanism (処置) for removing somebody from office (etc.) 
and ban them from participating in politics (etc.) again.
