9:09Now PlayingDonald Trump is the first president in U.S. history impeached twice by the House of Representatives.
The first time around, it was clear from the start that the Senate would fall far short of the two-thirds supermajority needed to convict him and thus remove him from office. (In the end, only one Republican senator, Mitt Romney, joined Democrats in voting to convict, on one count.)
This time could be different. Enough Republicans are angry about Trump’s role in fueling the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol that a two-thirds vote for conviction isn’t out of the question. And Trump will in all likelihood be an ex-president by the time the Senate votes, which raises questions about the purpose and legality of Senate action.
