Senate's role in impeachment

Senate, controlled by Republicans, will w hold a trial under supervision of Chief Justice of Supreme Court. In trial, Senate will serve as jury and at least two-thirds of Senate have to vote in favour of removal. However, Senate also has power to disqualify official from holding public offices in future. In case Trump is only convicted just this time, he will continue to take part in race of President in 2020. However, if Senate decides to permanently disqualify Trump, he will t be seen holding a government office again. In contrary to this, White House has alrey said that Senate will exonerate Trump and will 'set things in order'.

“Today marks culmination in House of one of most shameful political episodes in history of our nation. Without receiving a single Republican vote, and without providing any proof of wrongdoing, Democrats pushed illegitimate articles of impeachment against president through House of Representatives,” White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.
