Why wouldn’t it stop impeachment, when the only thing they can do upon conviction is remove him from office? If he’s not holding an office, how can he be subject to impeachment?

Read the Constitution, it's not about removing him from office it's the fact the senate can vote as punishment to bar him from running for public office ever again. So the proceeding will continue after he leaves office.

Exactly. President Trump is in transition. President Trump is not actually the office holder in full measure.

In this case Presidnt Trump does not fullfill all of the elements of a President for the Impeachment Process.

PDJT is leaving the building.

They cannot impeach the president. Unless they want to impeach Joe Biden.

At this point President Trump is a quasi President.

That’s actually a very good argument.
