CNN is talking about the vote in the House.

(12,364 posts)So, if the HOUSE votes to Impeach Trump.
That means he is impeached?
Then the Senate has to vote to Convict.
Whats the time frame, after the House has voted to impeach Trump.

(4,388 posts)(which just means they did an investigation and found he did bad shit). Then the Senate has to vote with a 2/3 majority to remove him from office. The problem is that Mitch McConnell runs the Senate so nobody knows whether or not he will try to drag out the vote.
