I can’t RIGHT NOW see a scenario where R senators buckle in an impeachment vote.

how’s it work?

Which chamber of congress votes to impeach and which votes to kick him out? Or do both vote both times?

Dont understand the process fully yet.

And NO, I don’t fully trust Rs at all.

The process is:

1. They kick our President out because he’s not a corrupt, Washington insider.
2. We have a Civil War.

The House impeachment is similar to an indictment.

The trial is held in the Senate and it takes I believe 67 Senators must find him guilty. Currently there are 44 Dem Senators so they would need 23 Republican and Ind. Senators to vote with them. Not likely.

Which chamber of congress votes to impeach and which votes to kick him out?

It all starts with the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Jerome Nadler. They vote out Articles Of Impeachment to the House floor for a roll call vote. If 218 Representatives vote for the Articles, the President is impeached and a trial in the Senate then takes place with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, currently John Roberts, presiding. After the trial, a roll call vote is held on the Senate floor, and if 67 Senators vote to convict, the President is convicted and removed from the office of President of the United States. This has never happened in the history of the country.

And it won't happen now. Nancy Pelosi has 38 of the needed 218 votes to impeach and she might make it to 40. If she dared to introduced Articles for a floor vote the smackdown would be such an embarrassment for her that it might cost her the Speakership and the Democraps the House in 2020!
