Unfortunately, you can be impeached after your term is over. Or fortunately… As it also applies to all other ex presidents like Obama, Bush, Clinton, Carter, etc.
Impeachment process is to remove someone from office... nothing more. If a person is not in office there is nothing to remove. Congress is only going thru with this is because they fear Trumps legitimate Claims to the office. If they convict him Congress will say see even if Trump won. we have removed him from office
