If found guilty, the person is removed from office. That is the only punishment from the impeachment trial. However, after removal from office, he could be indicted and prosecuted by the courts for any crimes like any other citizen would be.

Impeachment only removes the official from his government position. Any other penalties would be imposed by a criminal court, if and when he is tried and convicted.

Impeachment is only the start of what can be a lengthy process that may or may not lead to an official's removal from office.

Impeachment is not a crime, it is a process.
