    4/ How can he be impeached? The Articles of is just like a bill. Somebody in the House of Reps would write it up, as they would write up a new law or bill. Then it would be read on the floor and the House votes to approve or deny it.

    5/ In order for it to pass, the House must have a simple majority -- one vote over 50% -- so 218 Representatives will need to approve the Articles of Impeachment. It will name crimes the House members believe the President committed, and then it will be sent to the Senate.

    6/ The Senate (made up of 100 Senators) will use the Articles of Impeachment, just like a criminal indictment, as an outline for a trial. The President will be forced to attend and to testify. He will either be convicted of the crimes presented by the House or acquitted.

    9/ said he will release the full transcript of his phone call w/ the President of Ukraine tomorrow (Wednesday 9/25). He says it will show he did nothing wrong on that phone call

    ....You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time!
