21.   I am still concerned about the risk of setting a precedent for opposition majorities in Congress to remove presidents for purely political reasons.

22.   Hyde conceded Sunday that, at present, there are not the votes in the Senate to remove the president from office.

23.   If found guilty on either charge, a separate ballot would be held on removing the president from office.

24.   If the House approved the articles of impeachment, the matter would be referred to the Senate for trial, and the president could be removed from office.

25.   If the House votes for articles of impeachment, the Senate conducts a trial on whether to remove the president from office.

26.   Impeachment, a form of indictment, requires the Senate to hold a trial to determine whether a president should be removed from office.

27.   If it does, a Senate trial would decide whether the president should be removed from office.

28.   If the defendant is found guilty by two-thirds of the Senate, the president is removed from office.

29.   In effect, the decision to remove the president from office was made by the America that voted not to re-elect him in the first place.

30.   Is impeachment a deterrent, or the first step toward removing a president from office?
