How Congress Could Impeach Trump

The transcript outlines the impeachment process against President Trump initiated by Pelosi on September 24th. It describes the role of six committees in investigating Trump and the procedure for bringing articles of impeachment to a House vote. If passed by a simple majority, the President is impeached, but removal from office requires a Senate trial. Majority Leader McConnell states that a trial is mandatory, with Senators as jurors and Chief Justice Roberts presiding. A 2/3 Senate majority is needed to convict and remove the President, who could still run for office again.
