Impeachment is the intended vehicle for presidential punishment.

That's irrelevant since the SCOTUS ruling is all about what happens after a president is no longer president.

Impeachment only applies to a sitting president. Not one who is no longer in office.

Oh yeah, Trump was really severely punished by being impeached twice.

That’s because neither resulted in a conviction by the Senate.
