You have to impeach in order to remove from office. So far impeachment hasn't led to that, but it could.

the gop will never remove one of thier own office, they may virtue signalling by doing it in the house, but they made deals ahead of time knowing the senate will not convict.

it could

It absolutely couldn't. Best estimates show dems gaining a couple seats in the midterms, and conviction requires 2/3 of the senate. There's no way 15+ of the GQP are gonna suddenly not be fascist bootlickers.

They're talking about the parliamentary process, not the political reality.

I was asking about the political reality.
