He doesn’t have to leave office right? Clinton didn’t.
What’s the consequences of impeachment other that dishonor?

No one wants to think about that, and good news is, there’s not a shred of evidence on the guy in a 2 year investigation...

the impeachment is akin to an indictment

the trial and conviction then would have to happen in the Senate

Nothing happened to Bill (except embarrassment) because the Senate didn't convict

Well, yeah. But not because Trump is facing impeachment and subsequent conviction.

At this point, I think : I hope it happens.
I am getting bored.
I need something good to do.
C'mon lefties.
Give me a reason, to demonstrate, why, God made me a superhuman.

The Senate then can hear the case and decide to remove or not to remove him from office. That would require a 2/3 majority to happen...which the GOP didnt have for Clinton and the Dems certainly wont have any time soon if ever again.

It will be a dog and pony show. Trump could refuse to even show up if he was called to appear before Congress and still nothing would happen except skyscreamers having more paid protests.

So long as he's not convicted and removed by the Senate, nothing.

If he is convicted and removed, Pence becomes President and his selection for VP would have to be confirmed by the Senate.

Simple majority of the House to impeach.

2/3 of the Senate to convict.

The US Constitution would be a good place for Cow to start concerning articles if impeachment.

Impeached. On President Johnson
Breach. on WJ Clinton

Ok 2/3, still not going to happen even if we lose the majority by a few seats.

Have you been listening to the democrats and their plans should they take control?

Trump can take care of himself. The nation does not need Nancy Pelosi leading the House and allowing her party's nitwit agenda to see the light of day.
