By the way, in case anyone was wondering -- the US Senate has previously held an impeachment trial after the impeached President had left office. So, doing it now would not be breaking new ground.
Only Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Trump have made it to the Senate trial, all during their terms, all acquitted.
What trial are you referring to?
It wasn't a President. It was Secretary of War William Belknap, in 1876. I don't think I heard the beginning of the reporting and I had been "listening" to the story while I was busy on the phone and made a bad assumption. Looking into it, it appears when he learned he was going to be impeached he went to President Grant and resigned. Despite having resigned the House impeached him with a unanimous vote. After a trial in the Senate a majority voted to convict however they did not reach the two thirds requirement so he was not convicted.
