Here's how Trump could be impeached, removed from office, and still win re-election in 2020
After removing a president, the Senate must separately vote by simple majority to prevent them from holding a federal office in the future. Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida, for example, was impeached and removed from his position as a federal judge by Congress, but later elected to the US House of Representatives because he was convicted in committee and the US Senate did not vote to disqualify him from holding future office. To be sure, this scenario is highly unlikely. While the House is controlled by Democrats, it's still not guaranteed that Trump will, in fact, be impeached.
John Dean , the former Nixon White House official famous for his role in the Watergate cover-up, said Saturday that he believes President Donald Trump should have been “I think this president probably should have been impeached the day he walked in ,” Dean said in an interview on CNN.
Trump has been in office for only 36 days , and there is already a growing chorus of voices calling for his impeachment . of a presidency and a vote for impeachment : President Richard Nixon ’s White House counsel , John Dean . He is the author of several books, including "The Nixon Defense

He has a terrible attitude. He doesn't understand government. He is in there trying to build his own brand, and he's taking advantage of the office from day one. It's just kind of caught up with him with this incident."
Dean claimed that Trump should also be facing "about 10 instances of obstruction of justice from the Mueller report," which the House Democrats' impeachment hearings have not discussed.
Comparing the Trump impeachment probe to Nixon's
Speed and partisanship are major differences between the months-long Watergate investigation and Congress' current inquiry into the Ukraine extortion scandalOnly the fourth president to face a congressional impeachment inquiry, Mr. Trump's congressional probe has some similarities to that which President Richard Nixon faced over the Watergate scandal, which led to his resignation in 1974. Nixon was accused of abusing his office, the same as President Trump.
Dean , who served as White House counsel under former President Richard Nixon , concluded on CNN Wednesday that just one day into the public hearings Dean noted that when the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment against Nixon in 1974, "it was my testimony, a few
It is widely believed that had Nixon not resigned, he would have been impeached by the House and removed from office by a trial before the United States Senate. Over the ensuing few months, Nixon was not able to put Watergate behind him , and there was ongoing speculation in Washington that the
His comments come after House Democrats hold the first week of public impeachment hearings. The proceedings center on whether Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

Impeachment Could Save Democracy; Americans Should Embrace It 
Many Americans remain uneasy about impeachment. They shouldn’t be. The founding fathers saw impeachment as a bulwark against tyranny.Back in May I wrote that the Mueller Report concluded the Trump-Pence ticket asked for and willingly accepted Russia’s intervention in the election on their behalf. In addition, their campaign chairman colluded with a Russian intelligence asset, sharing polling and a written strategy on how to use the information. And the Russians did just that.

John Yoo: Impeachment effort won't remove Trump from office – Is it worth the trouble? 
No American president has ever been removed from office by Congress. That is almost certain to remain the case at the conclusion of impeachment proceedings against President Trump that began public hearings Wednesday in the House of Representatives. President Richard Nixon would likely have been removed in the Watergate scandal if he was impeached by the House and went on trial in the Senate, but he resigned in 1974 to avoid that.Only two presidents have been impeached by the House – Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998, but both were acquitted when they went on trial in the Senate.
Although he does not foresee a quick end to the special counsel probe into Russian election meddling and aides to President Donald Trump , former White House counsel John Dean noted that the modern media landscape may prevent it from lasting as long as the Watergate investigation

In another CNN appearance earlier this week, Dean indicated that the impeachment witnesses who have publicly testified have more evidence against Trump than Congress had against former President Richard Nixon. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi echoed that sentiment on Thursday, saying, "What President Trump has done ... makes what Nixon did look almost small."
The president has clashed with Dean in the past calling him a "sleazebag" as the Watergate-era figure prepared to testify in front of the House this summer. Dean, 80, was part of the Watergate scandal as he cooperated against his co-conspirators in order to receive a shorter prison term.
He testified in front of Congress this summer to give "a little historical perspective on the Mueller report" and compared the report to the Watergate scandal, which took down Nixon.
