Stick to this thread......don’t recall discussing Trump anywhere else here at SYG???
Impeachment doesn’t necessarily mean the President is removed from office. It’s only occurred twice in our Country’s history and both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton survived their Senate trials. Impeachment is difficult by design!!!
My Understanding Of How Impeachment Works
A. Speaker Pelosi announced the formal impeachment inquiry.
B. An impeachment resolution must be introduced into the House of Representatives.
C. Speaker Pelosi has to direct the House Committee on the Judiciary to hold a hearing on the resolution to decide whether to put the measure to a vote by the full House of Representatives.
D. a minimum 20 votes in favor of impeachment for the resolution to move to a full vote in the House of Representatives.
E. a simple majority of representatives in the House is required to approve an article of impeachment, meaning it would take 218 votes in order to officially impeach the president. If 218 members of the House of Representatives vote to impeach President Trump, he's impeached......maybe???
G. Impeachment then moves to the Senate and they have a trial for President Trump to determine if he committed a crime. The proceedings resemble an actual criminal trial with the Senate serving as jurors. The Chief Justice Of The Supreme Court —John Roberts— is the presiding Judge.
H. to remove President Trump from office......all 45 Democratic Senators, both independents and 20 Republicans Senators would ALL need to vote guilty.
