President Donald Trump will not be removed from office if the House votes to impeach him, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said.

An impeachment triggers a trial in the Senate on the charges alleged by the House. If a president isn’t convicted by two-thirds of the Senators present at the time of the vote, he stays in office. No president in the history of the country has been impeached and removed from office.
