Impeachment is the indictment, the accusation. The trials were in the Senate where he was found not guilty.

Impeachment is the indictment.

The trial is in the Senate where the politician is found guilty and removed from office or acquitted.

Once acquitted the charge no longer stands other than as a historic footnote that refers to the time after impeachment charges and prior to acquittal UNLESS the impeachment stands and the politician is removed from office, which did not happen in either instance with President Trump.

IF Trump had been removed from office then he could be correctly referred to as “impeached”....and that was impossible with this latest farce.
