Logically and ethically speaking, I can't personally see why the heck an impeached president should be able to occupy a political position ever again, much less the presidency itself, considering he or she was taken down the office usually with pretty grave criminal charges. I'm not talking about Trump alone, talking about politics in general.
I do understand exploiting legal loopholes and whatnot, but this one is pretty clear to me. Afaik, for the most part, impeached presidents are traitors to their positions and should never be considered to occupy it ever again.
I know that this isn't what happens in practice.... I'm from a country that had a president who resigned last moment before getting impeached, basically fled the country, and has now decades later been elected a senator again, which I find ridiculous and why my country is neck deep in shit the way it is. But if we are going to pass laws and constitutions that guarantees so much power for corrupt politicians, how can we ever expect competent honest people in office?
