There is no precedent for convicting any former president, there is for a judge or other low ranking federal official, who probably had financial constraints to take this to the Supreme Court, had they done so, would probably won, it is not Constitutional, it is irrelevant if they impeached him in the House of Representatives, the Senate lost it's jurisdiction the moment Trump's term ended and became a private citizen.
