    Chuck Todd: 'already, more of the President's own party are on the record voting to impeach him than there was for Bill Clinton or Andrew Johnson.'

    What's the outcome for Trump on this if he's impeached here but survives the Senate trial vote?

    So if this vote passes, what happens next?

    Impeached twice is something else though.

    He'd still be able to run again

    Still have a pension

    Still have a travel budget

    Still have lifetime secret service

    Still have an office and staff after leaving

    So really is this just symbolic? Surely there's no way they'll get the 16-17 votes in the Senate to reach the 67?

    Nothing AFAIK, just the record of being the first president to be impeached twice. So much winning.

    It seems that the Trial won't begin until the 19th at the earliest, and has to share time with cabinet confirmations.

    To this day, its still mind boggling how such a known charlatan has got so far in life.

    Literally has bluffed his way to the highest office. It will be one for psychology studies in years to come.

    Doesn't the senate not vote to remove him from office then ? Assuming the Dems don't have majority yet there

    Unbelievable scenes given the Covid crisis. Politicians openly chatting in groups indoors.

    Orange Man is now a Bitter Orange Man.

    Ironically the Orange Man turned out to be a lemon.

    Busy impeaching the president!

    To be honest, incredible that he likely avoided ever facing criminal charges for the first seventy years of his life.

    An impeachement seems like a censure to me if it's not followed through with a conviction. Similar to a motion of no confidence.

    'Yeah, that's Jordan.'

    So if the President isn't in office he can't be impeached...this could go no where?

    May seem to you, the history books will be different

    He's going to be impeached in about 5 minutes.

    The President is in office and he is getting impeached.

    not sure if its been mentioned but if they wait 100 days for the Senate vote I expect in the coming weeks a sustained release of information re Trumps dodgy behaviour now the Democrats will have access to all the files etc,would imagine Comey and Mueller's mates will be a font of info,might not be a 2/3 majority now but that could change if enough dirt can be dished.One thing most would agree about Trump is he has more than his fair share of enemies.
