    Impeachment does not require removing a president from office, that’s just the maximum penalty. An impeachment is also not necessarily a breach of the law. I hate Trump as much as the next guy and his impeachments were absolutely deserved, but it wasn’t like he somehow managed to stay in power after being impeached or anything. Even Nixon actually stepped down after his impeachment rather than being removed from office outright.
