Can Trump be impeached even after his term ends? Andrew Romano
On Sunday, South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, the third highest-ranking Democrat in the House, floated a somewhat counterintuitive even confusing theory.
Clyburn’s Democratic colleagues have introduced one article of impeachment against President Trump for inciting a deadly insurrection against Congress; they are vowing to consider the resolution as early as Wednesday unless Trump resigns or is removed pursuant to the 25th Amendment.
But even if House Democrats impeach Trump this week for the second time in 13 months and they have the votes to do it Clyburn suggested they could wait until the spring to actually transmit the charges to the Senate for a trial, which would decide on Trump’s responsibility and punishment.

Donald Trump is facing potential impeachment after a mob of pro-Donald Trump supporters invaded the USA Capitol building as lawmakers in Congress were endeavouring to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. The US leader is accused of inciting the mob which overwhelmed police officers at the scene and invaded the Capitol building, prompting calls for his impeachment. But if Mr Trump is impeached, could he run for president in 2024?
