I don’t know if it’s legal or not, but since when did that matter to the Dem/media complex?
True, but I’m wondering if this opens the door for Trump to seek legal remedies.
U.S. Grant’s Attorney General was impeached after resigning, so the precedent is there. And there’s more than removal from office involved—there’s also the loss of the pension, Secret Service protection, some other money to run an office, and the bar against holding public office in the future, so not all the punishments of impeachment are made moot by leaving office.

There is precedent for impeachment and trial after a federal officer has left office.
“Is it constitutional” is a quaint question. It is impossible for the government to do something unconstitutional. No matter what they do, they label it constitutional. In this case, Congress is the sole branch involved. There is plenty of opinion out there that it is unconstitutional, but that’s nothing more than academic blather.
