He had no "powers" as President ... he was already out of office by the time the 2nd impeachment trial took place.
He was (and still is) a private citizen.
May it forever remain so !

What was the purpose of the impeachment if the “private citizen” was already out of office?
It's about naked partisanship by the SecState in Maine. The ballot-busting in the other Democrat states is just a coordinated effort by the party to keep Trump off ballots. This reeks of desperation.
Actually, "worthy" has nothing to do with Trump's remaining in office; it's an irrelevant subjective adjective. He was duly elected in 2016. He was cleared of all charges brought by the impeachment, thus not guilty - period. Hillary Clinton - the penultimate election denier - deemed Trump not worthy of the office and attempted to overturn Trump as a sitting POTUS with her Russia collusion hoax. How ironic that her also-impeached husband was probably the most unworthy person in the eyes of many Americans to ever sit (and do other things) in the Oval Office.
You can believe that if you wish. Her decision is well explained her in her 34-page order and naked partisanship was not mentioned or implied. Her reasoning spoke of the law and her findings closely aligned with the legal findings of the CO Supreme Court.

Bellows' naked partisanship was on full display almost immediately after the Jan6 riot. Skeptics can easily picture her colluding with this handful of Trump haters to have them file a complaint so she could go through the motions of the process required to kick him off the Maine ballot. She also had no problem with taking heat for making this decision. She was likely motivated by the enormous amount of favorable coverage she would receive by the liberal media that would greatly enhance her anticipated run for Senate against Susan Collins or even throw her hat in the ring for governor. She's also an all-in team player for the Democrat party effort to take Trump off ballots in Blue states. SCOTUS needs to step in ASAP and put a stop to this dangerous nonsense.
"Challengers knew that they had Bellows at hello. She was one of the first officials to declare the Jan. 6 riot to be an “insurrection” prompted by Trump’s speech.
Bellows previously declared that “the Jan. 6 insurrection was an unlawful attempt to overthrow the results of a free and fair election…The insurrectionists failed, and democracy prevailed.” A year after the riot, Bellows was still denouncing the “violent insurrection."...
The Supreme Court should act not only with finality but with unanimity in rejecting this pernicious disqualification theory. But these same advocates are likely to seek to delay or avoid such review...
However, the court now faces a call of history. After the Maine decision, the justices must realize that neither they nor the country can avoid this moment. Indeed, the court was designed for this moment: to stand between rage and reason; between cynicism and constitutionalism. "
Destroying democracy to save it: Maine shows the danger of zealots in our legal system
To rid themselves of Trump, advocates are willing to adopt the type of ballot-cleansing powers long associated with authoritarian countries such as Iran.

That's correct ... both as to my doing it and it being a fact.
But I didn't then just go all stoopid and call impeaching a former governmental official a clown move.

To hold him accountable for his previous actions while he was in office of course.
Do you really not know how any of this works ?

Oh that "period" right there at the end makes it so definitive !
Once again you mischaracterize what happened: he wasn't "cleared" of anything - he was acquitted ... but with a majority voting to find him guilty.
He colluded - read the Mueller report.
... only to be surpassed by The El Donaldo to be the worst POTUS evah !
... in the eyes of many Americans of course ...

Biden isn't "shipping money to Iran" ...
He did remove the sanctions that prevented Iran's access to their own money - which was a held in a foreign bank account - as part of a deal to free American hostages.
Biden admin clears the way for prisoner swap deal with Iran, lifts freeze on $6 billion in Iranian funds
Accountable in what way? He was out of office.To hold him accountable for his previous actions while he was in office of course.
