Impeachment is for office holders, to remove them from office.

Holding an impeachment trial on a private citizen is not constitutional.

Well, impeachment by the House of Commons was invented to PREVENT private citizens whom the King wished to appoint to Ministries from getting appointed. The Founders surely knew this, which is why they included the disqualification option in the power granted to the Senate when it tries "ALL impeachments".
