Trump Impeachment Day: Jan 21, 2018

From U.S. Constitution, Amendment XXII, Section 1:

no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once

The Republican Senate will wait until Jan 21, 2018 to convict President Trump of impeachment. The House can impeach the president before then, but it's important that V.P. Pence become president less than two years before the end of the term. This way, Pence is still eligible for an additional eight years. Imagine that! Ten years of President Pence after two years of President Trump!

Here's a thought. It takes 2/3 of the Senate to convict, and the Republicans have only 52 seats. What if the Democrats decide to leave Trump in office? From their perspective, in many ways, Pence is worse. Also, the Democrats will have lots of leverage to make a deal with Trump before allowing him to stay in office. Trump will be happy to oblige because his thin skin will feel horribly slighted by the Republicans.

Net, net: No chance Trump will be impeached.
