Once the articles of impeachment are drafted, the 40 members on the House Judiciary Committee voted over whether bring them to the full House of Representatives.

A simple majority vote is needed, in this case, which means 21 congresspeople voting yay are needed in this phase.

HOUSE VOTE: 218

Once the articles make it out of the judiciary committee, the 435 members of the House of Representatives debate the merits of the articles of impeachment.

In this phase, a simple majority is needed again to continue the impeachment process, which means 218 representatives would have to vote yay in order to confirm impeachment.

It takes 67 votes or 2/3 of the Senate to remove.
