Senate takes over now .. takes 2/3 vote to remove him from office .. Republicans hold majority with 53 of the 100 seats.

Short version .. He won't be removed from office, like Clinton. He may in fact be re-elected despite having been impeached.

@Stillwaiting Clinton wasn't reelected. His impeachment was during his second term.
