How are they going to impeach anyone with a minority in congress and fifty senators? Pelosi won’t even allow it to be introduced but votes to censure anyone who tries will probably pass.

This isn’t about removing Trump from him being currently the President. This is about 2024 so that they prevent Trump from holding office again. It has already been said as much. They will impeach him in the house, let him stay in office but in the end bar him from holding office again. That is how this is going to play out. Only problem is that Myrtle the Turtle will not be reconvening the Senate until 1 hour after Trump is officially no longer President. Then the question becomes can the Senate hold a trial on a President who has officially left office and is now a private citizen again? There is nothing in the Constitution nor the Federalist Papers about this scenario. If the Senate does hold trial and bars Trump, this then can be taken to the SCOTUS to determine Constitutionality of the Senate trial. Although the penalty will be determined to be Constitutionally allowable because it is specified in the Constitution. However, the only thing that would prevent Trump from holding office again is if were to be convicted of a felony. Which is why they want to go after him once he is out of office. They fear a second term of Trump. But not sure if the Senate will try the case or not and whether SCOTUS will take up the case since impeachment is the sole power of the House and the trial is the sole power of the Senate.
