So at least one of the various U.S. National impeachment trials was held after the indicted had left office. The Trumped-Up lawyers are likely to contend that on that basis: There is no precedent for that having ever happened(?)! Senator Paul acknowledges the precedent, but notes that never before has it happened to a President. That was in an interview on the Fox Soap Opera channel, even(?). One of the various stars was involved, having not been fired.
Another Sunday Senator recalled that Nixon had resigned before an impeachment. Nothing further happened. No comparison was made with the basis: The Trumped-Up leader did not resign. So lawful Impeachment happened. That is as far as that contention can go. The Senate, in writing, then tries all impeachments, as in each and every one.
Then The Rand Paul reasoning is even baseless on its face. Day One one after ratification: The Constitution was not thought to be invalid since it had never been done before(?)! The Rand Paul contention(?): The whole document is therefore Unconstitutional(?): From Day One!
More Likely House Managers will contend that the document is valid, and embraces language sufficient to meet the circumstance, not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. The problem of a "January Exemption," or "Exception:" Had a lot of time to happen, from that pesky, "Day One."
