Not that I support this kangaroo court bullshit, but an impeachment is just an indictment of the sitting President by the House acting as a grand jury. The trial, in the Senate, could reasonably take place after exiting office, like for example if you committed a crime on the last day, and then evidence would be gathered and presented.
Not that there is a crime, or evidence, or justice to be had here.
Impeachment is specifically about removing one from a government office. Yes, you would hope it is because of misconduct or crimes that have occurred but impeachment is not about charging one with a crime. It’s about how one is unworthy to hold a certain office. You can’t be removed from an office that you don’t hold.
