SESSIONS also voted to remove Clinton for obstruction.
Fun fact: Then-Rep. Lindsey Graham was an impeachment manager.
Senators Blunt, Burr, Crapo, Moran, Portman, Thune, Wicker were in the House in '98 and voted to impeach over obstruction.
Crapo then was sworn in as a senator in time to vote Guilty on the obstruction article with the others listed.
You need a two-thirds vote in the Senate to remove a president from office - 67.
There's never been a successful vote to remove a president in U.S. history.
(Nixon resigned before he could be impeached by the House.)
With Giuliani saying Trump's fight re: Mueller is in part about impeachment, worth noting the Senate math, which is MUCH harder than the House math, especially if Democrats have the gavel next year.
With today's Senate you would need every Democrat + 18 crossover Republicans to remove a president. We are a long, long, long way from that.
