56 Votes to Acquit? Friday 1/31/20?

That would be decisive. It takes 60 votes to convict. The rats would only have 44 votes, making them 16 votes short.

No, that’s wrong. It takes a 2/3 majority to convict. They need 66 votes to convict. They’d be 22 votes short. To convict, the Rats would have to convince 17 republicans to swap sides. I don’t think that will happen.

Actually, it takes 67 Senators to convict, 2/3 of the Senators.

So the dims would really be short.
