The results will be 55 no, 45 yes. +/- 2 votes.
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?
