I'm not a lawyer, but it doesn't actually look all that open to me


There have been convictions of Federal officials after they have left office. Indeed there have even been impeachments of federal officials after they have left office.

Any argument to the contrary would, IMHO, have to rely on the basis of the POTUS being a special snowflake, somehow different from other Federal officials to which the Constitution applies. That, or make the argument that two centuries of Federal impeachments have been doing it wrong.
