  1. They impeached. They had a trial. Trump was acquitted. A matter of record. Since when did you have double jeopardy in the USA?

  2. Plenty of statements that impeachment vote, then you have a trial in the senate. You can't be tried twice in the US.

  3. It's a trial.  @mooseheadjack1  The federal House of Representatives can impeach a party with a simple majority of the House members present or such other criteria as the House adopts in accordance with Article One, Section 2, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution. This triggers a federal impeachment trial in the United States Senate, which can vote by a 2/3 majority to convict an official, removing them from office. The Senate can also further, with just a simple-majority vote, vote to bar an individual convicted in a senate impeachment trial from holding future federal office. Notice TRIAL. That word in the constitution. Its a TRIAL The Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides: "[N]or shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb..."[1] The four essential protections included are prohibitions against, for the same offense: retrial after an acquittal; retrial after a conviction; retrial after certain mistrials; and multiple punishment So you can't get Trump. He's been found innocent after a TRIAL.
