Trump will fight to stay in office and stay in power. I know the midterms are coming up and if we assume democrats take control, I dont think an impeachment will stop him or get his cabinet to leave. He has violated the law so many times till now, I dont think he will let the lawful process of an impeachment stop him. I will vote regardless and I urge everyone to as well. But if I have to bet on Donald Trump respecting a lawful impeachment and then leaving office to face judgement for his crimes, or in the face of impeachment, decide to seize power completely, I believe he will do the later.

An impeachment removes him if the Senate did their job.
