I remember growing up that when someone uses the word impeaching a president it solely meant to remove a sitting president from office.

But looking at wikipedia it now has a wider meaning to include taking a public official (whether sitting or retired) to court.

Has the meaning change?

When I was young I was always told that impeachment was just debating on whether charges should be brought against the sitting President.

Everyone made it explicitly clear that Nixon was impeached but he resigned before further action could commence.

However, what it seems like in the past 4 years, every spic I knew thought "impeachment" ment Trump was getting escorted out of the White House that very day because they watch Haim Saban's Univision controlled news that pumps them full of pro Hillary propaganda right after Power Rangers is over.
