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.)
No Democrats still in office voted to impeach Clinton in the House; no Democrats voted in the Senate to convict and remove.
Schumer voted against impeachment in committee, on the House floor and then on the Senate floor as a freshman senator voted to acquit on both charges.
