""House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, one of Ms Pelosi’s top allies, suggested on Sunday that the House may wait to send impeachment documents to the Senate until after Mr Biden’s first 100 days in office.
Submitting impeachment articles to the upper chamber triggers an almost immediate trial, taking up all the Senate’s floor time. If the House transmitted the documents immediately, that could delay the new Democratic-controlled Senate from voting to confirm Mr Biden’s Cabinet nominations when he takes office later this month.

“Let's give President-elect Biden the 100 days he needs to get his agenda off and running, and maybe we'll send the articles sometime after that,” Mr Clyburn said in an interview with CNN on Sunday.""
This just shows us all how desperate the Demcrats really are and how frightened they are of President Trump.
This idea of impeaching Trump after he has left office can never succeed because the rules call for Impeaching the President and once he leaves, he is no longer ,"the President", so no impeachment could succeed !
(My experience with UK Law is when I worked for the Law Chancellor and that is during the 1960's and early 1970's and that was the UK so my experience is out of date but as the USA took most of the laws and systems from the UK the basics are the same.)
