As all who have seen me around know, I'm not american. I'm 101% for Trump and do not by any means support what is happening, just to clear up any potential doubts.
However there are a few things that I want to know to expand my own knowledge.
- What is the status? Has there been a vote? What was its result and what does it mean?
- What has to happen for a president to be impeached? Who needs to vote for what? Is a normal majority enough or is some sort of supermajority needed?
- How long does such a process take?
- If a president is impeached, does the vice president immediately become president? Asking because I don't speak american politics that well and if someone could ELI5 I'd be thankful. :)

It will pass the house Senate doesn't come into session till 19th and need unanimous vote to come back early. It will be too late to try in senate before he is out There will be arguments if you can try a private citizen, i wouls bet they sit on pretrial as a tool to try shut trump up
It's just posturing.
It won't make it to the senate because it would require unanimous consent to start a special session.
