THE BIG QUESTION IN AMERICA AT THE MOMENT IS:

WILL OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP BE IMPEACHED?

MY OUTLAW ODDS:

DONALD TRUMP WILL BE IMPEACHED                     EVEN
DONALD TRUMP WILL NOT BE IMPEACHED             -105

INFORMATION:

The congressional power to remove a president from office through the process known as impeachment is the ultimate check on the executive.

No president has ever been forced from the White House that way, though Richard Nixon resigned rather than have to face the prospect.

WHAT IS IMPEACHMENT?

Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official. Impeachment does not in itself remove the official from office; it is the equivalent to an indictment in criminal law, and thus is only the statement of charges against the official.

CAN THE PRESIDENT BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE?

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

WHO HAS BEEN IMPEACHED?

The House has impeached 19 people, mostly federal judges. Two presidents, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, were impeached, but the Senate voted not to convict either of them.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS?

When a president has been impeached by the House, the Supreme Court's chief justice presides over the Senate trial. The office holder is entitled to defense lawyers, and each side can call witnesses and present evidence. When the case has been presented, the Senate meets in closed session to deliberate.

The Senate vote is conducted in open session, and a two-thirds majority is required for conviction. If the Senate votes to convict, the public official on trial is immediately removed from office. The Senate can conduct a separate vote on whether to disqualify the official from ever again holding federal office, which requires a simple majority.
