The House is comprised of 233 Republicans and 199 Democrats, with a simple majority â 217 votes â required to impeach. Before the articles of impeachment go to the full House, though, they would have to pass through the House Judiciary Committee, where Republicans hold a 23 to 18 advantage.
Actually not that hard to *impeach* a president. Just takes a majority vote in the House. But impeachment just sets up the âtrialâ in the Senate.
