Question: Can Trump be impeached in absentia?

I don't know the legality of Trump's trial after office, but a state-level defendant can be tried even in absentia. Regardless, the impeachment trial or exercise can be one of procedure or Congressional precedent. Otherwise, any U.S. president can wait until the end of his or her tenure or term to commit an impeachable offense.​
