As there are other ramifications to being impeached and convicted, other than removal from office, the only logical interpretation is that the trial can happen after the perp has left office. One has to read the Constitution as a whole, and not just cherry pick parts of it. SCOTUS will do the former and very likely let Congress do as it will do with Trump.How do you remove someone from an office they don't hold?
