What if the House votes to Impeach, but the Senate does not have time for a vote before January 20. Can the new Senate, with D majority, then vote to remove trump, thereby taking away his pension, travel and office budget, and ensuring he can’t run in 2024?
There is no literal guidance in the Constitution, but there is some logic to support it.

I can not ******* believe we're debating whether to impeach a potus who, for his own ends, spearheaded a mob attack on Congress that shut it down, terrorized 2000 people, injured 100's and led to 5 deaths, including that of an officer beaten to death with a fire extinguisher.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn on Sunday said House Democrats might wait until after President-elect Joe Biden's first 100 days in office to send any articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate, a move that would give the incoming President time to tackle his agenda in Congress before the start of a time-consuming trial.
"We'll take the vote that we should take in the House, and (House Speaker Nancy Pelosi) will make the determination as to when is the best time to get that vote and get the managers appointed and move that legislation over to the Senate," Clyburn told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
"It just so happens that if it didn't go over there for 100 days, it could -- 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," the South Carolina Democrat added.
