Impeachment means you’re charged. The senate would have removed him.
I can’t understand why you are hanging your hat on this loser of a position.
I know how it works.
The overwhelming consensus 45 years later is that Nixon would have been removed by the senate.
At the time, he was getting conflicting advice, but apparently there was sufficient concern that he would be removed to induce him to take the resignation option.
However, there were some in the Senate who declared their intention to vote for his removal, some who declared they would vote against removal, and some who did not declare their intentions. Of those who declared for removal some hoped their declaration would induce him to resign and spare them the removal vote. We’ll never know what the actual vote would have been because it never took place.
