If one is not in office, he cannot be “Impeached.”

Impeachment is a term specific to making an accusation against an office holder.

Once out of office, they can be prosecuted in the normal fashion.

You have to be right.

I remember Nixon was afraid of criminal charges more than removal and that made him decide to resign. He said it in a later interview (not David Frost).

Now all the pundits say you cannot put a sitting president in jail because he could not defend the country using the military in case of attack.
If true, Kim and Iran may be saving Trump’s bacon.
