a vote of at least 2/3 of those present is required to convict and remove the president from office.

Sorry, never gonna happen. EVER.

I agree it’s not going to happen.

I was just pointing out the vote thresholds and the fact that impeach and convict takes fewer total votes than a veto override.

And quirk of the Constitution. Some may find it interesting, many, probably not.
