What exactly do you think due process is?
Who previously owned Trumps rights??
Thus eliminating your appeal to authority of the ME and CO rulings.
Due process is the legal process put in place for any given set of legal circumstances.
Trump never had a right to the office of the President of the United States. Trump previously enjoyed the privilege of holding that office.
What authority? The States are prostrate before the Supreme Court.

They didn't prove Trump committed insurrection
Technicalities. They proved he incited an insurrection. Trump Impeached for Inciting Insurrection - The New York Times
The way that I understand it is that being impeached is like being accused.
That is not correct. Allegation and discovery are prior to, and bring evidence to, an impeachment where that evidence is evaluated.
Then there’s a trial…
Donald Trump acquitted in second impeachment trial
www.theguardian.com...
In this instance, the second impeachment was for a different misdemeanour.
Trump has twice been found guilty, each time for different things. He has, in the eyes of the law, committed two crimes.
After each impeachment, the case is taken to the Senate to determine the sentence. They don't acquit, but they can rule against applying a sentence.
As far as I know, there is no precedent or statute in law that would allow for appeal against an impeachment. It is final.
Impeachment means simply that the president was accused by the House. The House files charges, that’s all impeachment is. Once the president is impeached by the House majority, the Senate must hold the removal trial, and two-thirds of the senators are needed to find him guilty.
