To remove him from office you need 66 votes yes.
Do the math.
But here's the kicker: It takes a 2/3 majority (67, not 66) of the members present. So, if you could convince, say, 30 Republican senators to stay home, Democrats could oust him with room to spare.
Since the chief Republican talking point is that the whole impeachment process is a sham, they should stick to their principles and not even show up for the vote. Right? Right?

Gotta admit - that's the kind of "logic" that got us this far........

Perhaps you will have better luck with "Impeachment V2.0" in February......
Edit to add --- or even more fun -- A TIE!!
Then when Mike Pence makes the deciding vote - the losing side (either one) can whine about the results up til November - then we can start the whole thing over!
Such fun.
