They need a majority in house and senate to impeach and convict. Conviction is how Trump is removed, impeachment just means he did enough to investigate any wrongdoing.

Correct. I was thinking about the presidential chain of succession and didn’t mention the Senate. A simple majority in the house is needed to pass articles of impeachment. Then two-thirds of the Senate must vote to convict and remove the president.
