Trump impeachment hearings: Here's how the process works.
Impeachment proceedings for Donald Trump are rolling full steam ahead, with Democrats holding public hearings again this week and moving toward drafting articles of impeachment.
The articles of impeachment are the list of charges drafted against the president. The vice president and all civil officers of the U.S. can also face impeachment. A simple majority of the members of the committee would have to vote in favor of approving an article or articles of impeachment in order to proceed to a vote by the full House. The House Judiciary Committee currently consists of 24 Democrats and 17 Republicans; 21 votes in favor would be necessary.
According to Suzanna Sherry, a law professor at Vanderbilt University who specializes in constitutional law,"nobody knows" what is specifically included or not included in the Constitution’s broad definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” If the Senate fails to convict, a president is considered impeached but is not removed, as was the case with both Clinton in 1998 and Andrew Johnson in 1868. In Johnson’s case, the Senate fell one vote short of removing him from office on all three counts.
