House Needs Single Vote to Impeach President, Senate Then Can Remove Him

The Constitution sets a two‑stage process for removing a president. First, the House of Representatives must approve impeachment. Only one additional vote is required to reach the threshold. Once the House votes, the matter moves to the Senate. The Senate conducts a trial of the impeached official. A two‑thirds vote in the Senate can lead to removal from office. The current tally shows the House is one vote short of that threshold. If the vote is secured, the Senate will decide the president’s fate.
