That is absolutely irrelevant to Trump's current impeachment, which happened while he was still President. Now a proper question might well ask whether a President (or other official) who was impeached before leaving office can be tried after leaving office, which is the case withTrump. | |

A trial has happened after the person has left office, wherein the Senate specifically ruled that they had jurisdiction for an impeachment trial of someone no longer in office. And that impeachment had the demerit, relative to this situation, of the impeachment also technically occurring after the person had left office. | |
| Jan 21, 2021 at 18:15 | comment | added | jamesqf | @zibadawa timmy: No, the situations are very different. Whether it is technically legal to impeach someone after they've left office is irrelevant here (unless of course the House comes up with still another reason to impeach Trump), simply because Trump was impeached BEFORE leaving office. | |
| Jan 21, 2021 at 6:00 | comment | added | zibadawa timmy | @jamesqf The situations are barely distinguishable, and the answer is equally applicable to both. If anything, impeached before and tried after is "more obviously legitimate and do-able" than impeached after and tried after, and the latter has already occurred (albeit for a non-president). | |
