Donald Trump Impeachment Odds
December 5th, 2018 by | Posted in Political Odds Comments Off on Donald Trump Impeachment OddsThe Mueller investigation into Russia’s possible interference in the 2016 presidential election continues to dominate the news. Meanwhile, President Trump’s critics, and other impeachment hopeful Democrats, are all constantly wondering:
(1) What are the odds Donald Trump will be impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives?
(2) What the odds are that he will be removed from office?
Many are looking to place bets on the odds that Trump will be impeached; or that Trump will be removed from the White House.
Obviously, if an impeachment process were to take place, this doesn’t necessary mean Trump will be removed from office. In 1998, Bill Clinton was impeached by the House for charges of obstruction & perjury (related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal). Clinton was then acquitted by the Senate. As a result, he was never removed from office.
