Impeachment 101

Process
1. Speaker announces start of formal impeachment proceedings
2. House of Reps has to pass this with a clear majority.
3. It then goes to the Senate. The CJ presides.

4. There is a trial
5. Senate needs to pass the motion with a two thirds majority.
6. Even if a Prez is removed as above, he or she can still run again unless specifically barred.

Given that the Senate has a Republican majority, the chances of them impeaching one of their own is negligible

The best (or worst) scenario, is Trump getting impeached and staying in office.
