House Democrats on Friday discussed moving forward with efforts to impeach President Donald Trump a second time, circulating the draft of a single article citing "incitement of insurrection" that they could introduce as early as Monday and hold a full House vote on as early as the middle of next week.
The article charges Trump with "willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States" with his comments at the rally outside the White House that it says "encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—imminent lawless action at the Capitol."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a lengthy conference call with her caucus Friday on how to proceed with just 12 days to go before Trump will leave office.
"The president chose to be an insurrectionist," Pelosi told members at the start, according to a source on the call.
Earlier, she sent a letter saying Democrats should pursue impeachment unless Trump resigned "immediately."

That will not stop Impeachment, they can continue whether he is in office or not and they will.
The base is still mostly with him.
Oops
Thnx
I smell a boatload of fear in the Democrats. Something is scaring the beJesus out of them.
Maybe Trump has an Ace up his sleeve that they are terrified he will release. Something so dark and wicked in its form and secrets, that they are falling to pieces over trying EVERYTHING to stop Trump from releasing a ‘Pandora’s box’ that will melt them all.
I hope he does and it will be glorious!
Rumor on twitter is they have the votes to remove in the Senate. Republican leadership wants Trump to resign because it would *split* the party.
A good 85% of the party would be gone. Can a party still be national with only the elite and elected members?
Dark times ahead unless a miracle happens.
Yeah well, we lost our first battle on Jan 6th.
If they remove him America is finished. Not just the republican party.
They are really not thinking this through, as usual.
We are witnessing the fall of our corrupt government
They are going to start an insurrection if they don’t stop it
Otherwise known as, “inciting a riot”.
They have created a powder keg
Political Assassinations could begin to occur in order to cull the DC herd if this goes through and they wont stop here.
Next on the agenda will be gun confiscation, it IS COMING .
the leftists have a long history of the mass killing of opposition and this demonstrates they will stop at nothing. Someone might snap and feel the need to kill or be killed before its too late. That could include all globalists like Pence as well as Pelosi and Schumer.
they really should lighten up before the powder keg blows and it won't be a phony FBI/ANTIFA "false flag" "reichstag Fire" like it was in DC on the 6th, it could get real
To my knowledge the answer to your question is NO!
You do not have to be currently in office to be impeached.
Impeachment (originally) was a tool of Parliament to PREVENT the King from naming a minister that Parliament did not want.
That conviction can be followed by a ban of holding office IN THE FUTURE indicates that anyine could be impeached, tried, and convicted for treason, bribery, or any other "high crime and misdemeanor".

His political support in Congress
Why would he even want to hold office again. It would be another four years of hell for him and his family. He should go out scorched earth. Release everything, leave a gone fishing note with a big FU, use his remaining “sick days” and disappear.
