Is Trump still receiving benefits from his time as president?
Then:
" Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law. "
The Constitution does not require a person to be holding office to be impeached. Since Trump is still receiving benefits now and into the future and can run for office again impeachment is the sole political solution to the allegations against him.
That's an interesting argument.
Regarding "Is Trump still receiving benefits from his time as president?"...
"Besides a pension and office-related funds, former presidents get lifelong Secret Service protection for themselves, their spouses, and their children under 16."
Former presidents also get fund for travel....
The Former Presidents Act, which was passed by Dwight Eisenhower in 1958—largely to help Harry Truman, who struggled financially after leaving the Oval Office—entitles ex-presidents to a handful of benefits.

COTUS says "Trust or Profit." I would hope that the Secret Service protection would not qualify for either of those.
All of this unity from the now all-powerful Democrats is really overwhelming.
Actually the Constitution says "
Office of Honor, Trust or Profit", a former president already holds no office.
