Is there any consequence to knowingly falsely impeaching a president? And if an impeachment is found to be false is there justice of some kind for the falsely impeached party?
Asking for a friend.

Yes, it is a violation of the Constitution and a congress person's oath of office since the Constitution specifically gives the reasons for starting impeachment.
The penalty is listed in Amendment 14, Clause 3 of the Bill of Rights.
They didn't get in trouble last time, so I guess not?
Nope.
That's a good question. I'm gonna dig and see if I come up with anything
No if you’re a democrat they will just do it again. It’s like bullies on the playground, just need someone to smack em back,
No. There are no real rules surrounding impeachment. If congress votes to impeach a president, that is the only rule.
