    The point is legally he has been acquitted.

    No he hasn’t. Impeachment is a political process, not a legal one. He hasn’t been legally charged yet, though that process is in the works. It’s taking a long time, because the seditious conspiracy plot was insanely large and wide-reaching. It’s the largest criminal conspiracy in the history of the nation, absolutely dwarfing Watergate which took 3.5 years.

    Impeachment is a political remedy more akin to being fired than criminally charged, and is not required to invoke the 14th.
