Nixon was NEVER impeached. It never went that far. He resigned before he was. So it would be unprecedented if a President was impeached, then it went to Senate for trial, then was convicted, then punishment was removal from Office, and THEN the CONVICTION was appealed to SCOTUS.In Nixon v. United States (1993) the Supreme Court decided that impeachment was a political process and is not subject to review by the judiciary.

The FULL House never voted to impeach Nixon. In order to be officially to be considered impeached, the entire House must have a majority of a yea vote. It is faux impeachment until then.
