Just because the house votes for impeachment, do you think that means he will be leaving office?

Yes...there are many people on here that think that if the house votes for impeachment that he will be forced to leave the office. I was wondering if you think that is true.

He won’t be removed from office simply because the house votes for impeachment. Once they vote that way, it goes to the senate, where there will not be enough votes to have him removed. The house vote, much like the vote to impeach Bill Clinton, is pretty much meaningless in the grand scheme of things

It is NOT meaningless. It's upholding the Rule of Law.

So if he’s found guilty by the house but not removed by the senate, what changed?

Ah. So, the House basically does the investigation. Then votes on whether or not there should be a trial.

The trial is actually held in the Senate. The Chief Justice of the Supreme court runs the trial. The Senators present evidence. Argue shit out. Take a vote to remove the President from Office.

If the vote succeeds, Trump is removed from office. If it fails, he stays in the office.

But the really weird part- let's say that Trump is removed from office. The Senate has to take a separate vote on whether or not to bar him from federal service ever again.

So. It's possible for Trump to be removed from office. BUT not barred from public service. So, he could still be the Republican nominee in 2020 for a 2nd term.

This has actually happened. A federal judge was impeached and removed from office (this has happened 18 times, with 8 judges having been removed. the last was in the late 80's). he went back and ran in a congressional election. He won. Went back to Washington as a representative.

Historical note: he voted against the impeachment vote for Clinton in the House.

and on top that - It also says that he heard White House officials sought to “lock down" the transcript of Trump’s now-infamous July 25 phone call by moving it to a “separate computer network.”

“They were directed by White House lawyers to remove the transcript,” the whistleblower writes.

The smoking gun of a cover up spurred the whistleblower to file the shocking complaint, which legally forced officials to maintain records of the call and other Trump actions.
