“The secretary of war under President Grant was impeached after he resigned his position.”
_________________________________________________________

Yes, but was he convicted in the Senate?

I thought he wasn’t, because enough senators took the “what’s the point, he’s no longer the secretary of war” position.

He was not convicted. But he was impeached. I’m only saying that the dems will have no hesitation in a post presidential trial.
