The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
If all Senators are present, it takes 67 to remove the President of the United States. That means 19 Republicans betraying the American voters and threatening their access to the good life as a US Senator. I don't think that is a real risk. It's about theater - putting on a show that will bring President Trump's disassembly of Big Government to a halt.
