At least 62 votes (two-thirds of the upper house of the US parliament) will be necessary to remove the president from office, but most likely, the Republican-controlled Senate will not find the required number of votes, and the head of state will remain at his post.

It is noteworthy that the final vote will take place after the president's traditional annual State of the Union address, scheduled for February 4. This situation is not very pleasant for the White House, which wanted the proceedings to be completed before the day of the speech, but still the Presidential Administration said that Trump’s speech would be “optimistic” and with “far-reaching plans.”
