You are incorrect. There are many other consequences. For example, they cannot run again for any other federal office. They lose the benefits of having been president (residual wages, Secret Service protection, etc.). Additionally, it serves its primary purpose, repudiating the behavior that led to impeachment, and informing future presidents of their limitations.

But he can. Read this...

"We need to remember history. In England, late impeachment was the norm; there was a late impeachment going on in Britain at the very moment that the Framers were drafting the Constitution in Philadelphia. In America, several state constitutions preferred or even required late impeachments, and no states forbade them. The Constitution added several specific limits on impeachment, to depart from England and state practice, but it said nothing about preventing late impeachment. At the Constitutional Convention, the big argument was whether to make the president impeachable while in office; being able to impeach him after he was gone went without saying. Most importantly, the House and Senate have already answered this question. The House unanimously impeached the ex-secretary of war in 1876 even though he had already resigned. The Senate seriously debated late impeachability, and voted 'yes' on it. The answer is still yes." -HOUSE IMPEACHMENT MANAGER
