    Yes, he will because only two of the four deviators needed for a Democrats' majority seem to be in favor of further evidence being provided. One is undecided and the other one is against it.

    I believe so. But the rabid Democrats will never give up, so the insanity will go on until Trump has finished his second term. :D

    Yes. Then watch Schitf and Pelosi go crazier. (If possible)

    I was just reading an article that states that even if he were to be convicted by the Senate and removed from office he can run (and win) again. :D

    I just heard that the vote for more witnesses was "No." So hopefully we can wrap this one up ASAP. :rolleyes:

    but does not automatically bar them from holding office again, per Politico. The Constitution states, "Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States.” But the Senate has traditionally treated the two punishments as separate, meaning that should the Senate vote to convict a president, which takes a two-thirds majority, they would then have to vote again on whether to bar him or her from holding office,

    But, will he get a second term? There are those that won't vote for him since he will have an Impeachment Proceeding on his record, even if he is acquitted of it.

    With out question, he will also be reelected for another term.
    History will be the judge!
    It is important not to confuse acquittal with innocence. The two are in no way synonymous.

    You could be (note the two words, "could be") somewhat over-confident about him being re-elected. Not saying he wouldn't be, but...…...

    His impeachment will serve as further assurance that he will win a second term!

    I do love overly-confident people! But, then again, he could.
