They have the power to impeach and remove a POTUS for High Crimes, etc. Once removed, the POTUS can prosecuted. That should be the standard.
The concept that an opposition DOJ should be free to malignantly go after an ex-POTUS for acts taken during the Presidency, despite legislative branch failure to remove under Article II of the Constitution for the same, is anathema to the Founders' intent and to our democracy.

You are correct. They are not “free” to charge or convict him for crimes committed as part of his official duties. He is immune from that after leaving office.
But under no circumstance does any impeachment proceeding impact that situation.
The Founders and Constitution separated impeachment and criminal prosecution. They are not related proceedings, even if they derive from the same act.

Not a criminal case

Prior to removal, POTUS can also be prosecuted.

Then you need to change the Constitution.
