17 Republican Senators are needed to join their Democratic colleagues to convict President Trump.

They are 100 members there....50 Reps, 50 Dems
Two-thirds majority.....about 67.
Bared from office only requires 51 votes, so that he will not able to contest in the future. It is different from Conviction of Removal from Office which is 67 votes

You are an illiterate don't go and read and be arguing I said 51 votes will ban Trump from competing for 2024 which is very important you are still there arguing nonsense since you don't know that I was talking on two separate issues
Did I say it will be easy to get 17 but one thing is clear Mcconell is in support of impeachment up to 4 republicans will vote for it only up to 13 remaining and if the GOP want to save themselves they will
It's largely intelligent of you to berate the verseness of others in an open discussion. Unfortunately to your ignorance I was citing outside your conception of thoughts the "may" phrase from the presented illustration guiding possible outcomes of actions. Since you're extensively daft to infer that, it's pointless pushing this discussion further. After all, your microscopic view of things only assumes a gaped chain of thoughts. Howbeit pathetic.

Enjoy the night young man.

Give this a rest...

America isn't a third world nation like you have here in Africa...

Donald "Hothead" Trump is done politically, whether or not he survives this "Second Wave"!

It is a lesson to all... There ought to be a limit to everything in life. A limit to how far anyone can or should push his luck.

Trump should have wisely quit while he was ahead, left the stage while there was even an ovation to speak of. Pity!!!

Why do you want to keep him from office in 2021, are you scare he is going to return back? If you're not then just allow him to finish his tenure in peace and go. it just 4 abi 5 days to go...so why the fears?

That's what I was trying to explain to the acclaimed educated young man.

Without conviction you can't vote to ban. If it were the reverse, it would have been done the first time.

You don't understand.
67 will do their jobs first by accepting he is guilty of the insurrection-issue.
Then another vote will be followed up barring him from holding office.

So the 67 will come first, before the 51 comes to play.

I doubt if you understand the one ‘due process’.

The House make up their own rules, processes and guidelines. Impeachment is like a grand jury indictment or a vote of no confidence.

The DA decides if any witness need to be call or not. They decide to or not to include the defense team or accused in the process.

Due Process comes into when the Senate holds their trial, House Managers will play the role of Prosecution, while the Trump will be allowed to mount his defense. The Chief Judge will preside and each side can call witnesses depending on the Trial rules voted into place by the Senate.

10 Republicans voted with the Democrats and it is most bipartisan impeachment in US History, more than that Bill Clinton’s.

That means they are afraid his popularity can win him another presidency.

In other words, this is stupidity. If Trump can win again then the Congress with the lowest approval rating in US history is in no position to impeach a president more popular than them

His fate is in the hands of Mitch.

First, he has dismissed reports of endorsing Trump's conviction.

He has also stated that the Senate will reconvene January 19, not in time for a trial.

Thirdly, 2024 will shape the next move for the Republicans.

You're the one getting it wrong tho..that 51 is AFTER conviction not before

"Impeaching a president with less than two weeks left in his term presents an extraordinary challenge. But if Mr. Trump is impeached in the House and subsequently convicted by a two-thirds vote in the Senate and removed from office, the Senate could then vote to bar him from ever holding office again.

The Constitution says that the Senate, after voting to convict an impeached president, can consider “disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States.” This would be determined by a second vote, requiring only a simple majority of senators to successfully disqualify him from holding office in the future. Such a vote could be appealing not just to Democrats but also possibly to many Republicans who have set their sights on the presidency"

And your mind is telling you that 17 Republican Senators will join Democrats in the abracadabra?

House with 210 Republicans got only 10 Votes and you anticipate Senate with 50 Republicans to get 17 votes?

Thank you someone corrected me earlier even though they are two separate issues and yes the republican party has a good chance to get rid of Trump especially those who want a 2024 run what do they have to lose they should convict that clown.
Anyway he is done for whether or not they do it.

A simple majority of 51 votes will bar him from office and that one is a sure vote.
There are up to 5 republican senators who openly want him out just 12 remaining and anything can happen to convict him


How come 197 Republican stood with him in the HOR? If most of them with him, a general feel of the Republican guys in the senate indicates that they are scared of their base, they will rather stick with Trump....

In as much as majority of them to agree with the "Crazy President", but as they say " Make we siddon look wetin go happen".....
