No, the impeachment clause of the Constitution specifically allows for an indictment and criminal trial. I am theorizing that since impeachment was limited to just removal from office and bar from holding office, they did not consider it "jeopardy of life or limb" as referenced in the Fifth Amendment.Flightmare wrote: Mon Feb 15, 2021 10:25 pmSince he was acquitted by the senate, wouldn't a trial for the same thing run afoul of double jeopardy?philip964 wrote: Mon Feb 15, 2021 9:18 pm https://www.click2houston.com/news/poli ... for-trump/

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
