Yes, there's even regulations for it. A president can only serve a maximum of 10 years (two terms plus 2) through such a process, I don't know if any president served any part of those extra 2 years or not though.

Falls apart here because once impeached, you can't be pardoned for the crimes you were impeached for.

I don't know the US specifics, that a president can't pardon themselves (obviously) and that a president cannot pardon an impeachment - however, there are a couple other pardoning bodies.

If a President was impeached over a state or military affair/crime, they could be pardoned by the States Attorney or the ruling officer of the court-martial as applicable... so it wouldn't be a president pardoning an impeachment.

...

But IDK - I'm just guessing based on wiki articles.
