I thought Derschowitz said you could not have such a trial after the man leaves office.
John Roberts will be the presiding judge at the impeachment trial. It will be interesting to see what he says if the Republicans ask him if impeachment of a former president is constitutional.

You can’t. The action of impeachment is to remove someone from office.
If the person isn’t in office, the impeachment is meaningless.
