The Constitution doesn't speak directly to that point, probably because it would be an utterly stupid and pointless thing to do. But, the Framers did not envision 21st Century Democrats.
Dershowitz believes it would be unconstitutional and I agree with him. As you say, the purpose of impeachment is removal from office. Once a person leaves office, they are no longer subject to the impeachment power.

They are also seeking to remove his pension, office costs and Secret Service detail.
Purely vindictive.

They did. It is why they gave us the 2nd Amendment. Tyranny comes in all shapes and sizes.
