TP <<The next President can choose to pardon either then or later. That does not make the original person President again. Once he is removed he is removed. He does not go directly to jail or pay $200. Any criminal actions related or not to the impeachment are a separate matter. The new President can choose to pardon or not.>> From the Constitution, Article II, Section 2 "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the United States...he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have the Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, EXCEPT IN CASES OF IMPEACHMENT" (my emphasis)
