But it does apply. Trump was in office and he was acquitted by the Senate on the charge of insurrection. By your premise DA’s and states could prosecute a former president for anything they did while in office. Like Alito said a true banana republic.

What about (alleged) crimes that didn't get an impeachment vote? Just in the ether?

This can avoid the real issues with limited immunity for executive actions, like every other government position with a similar limited immunity.

Then it's only non-executive actions that may violate the law at issue. Hopefully there would not be many from a President

No, I never said that.
All I am saying is that a successful impeachment is not a pre-requisite to charging a former President for alleged crimes committed while in office.

There are still other issues at play that can bar such charges/prosecutions - like immunity for official acts.

Obviously, I am not some big-time Supreme Court lawyer so I could be off here, that is just how I read the Constitution.
