Por qué Trump no ha sido impugnado y es probable que nunca lo sea

El presidente no será destituido de su cargo hasta que los republicanos en la Cámara de Representantes decidan apoyar esa idea; o si los demócratas ganan escaños en las próximas elecciones de la Cámara.

Why Trump hasn’t been impeached – and likely won’t be

The president won’t be removed from office until Republicans in the House decide to support the idea – or the midterms hand the Democrats more seats.

Impeachment: It’s political

Could Trump be removed from office? Answering that question is less about understanding the law and more about counting votes.
