In case the President is acquitted, can he be subjected to another impeachment complaint?

The Constitution provides that no impeachment proceedings shall be initiated against the same official more than once within a period of one year. This provision does not make any distinction between being impeached for the same charges or different charges. After a year, however, impeachment proceedings can be legally initiated again in the House.

It is not clear whether he can be charged for the same charges for which he was acquitted. There are those who contend that the principle of double jeopardy bars a second impeachment complaint against the President for the same charges for which he was acquitted. Others say that double jeopardy is not applicable since impeachment is not considered a criminal proceeding.
