Did the President get impeached yesterday?
Yes.
So he’s not President anymore?
He still holds that office. Impeachment just means he has officially been charged with a crime by the US House of Representatives.
I thought impeachment means he gets kicked out?
No. The House impeaches (which is what happened Wednesday night). The articles of impeachment are then sent to the US Senate. There a trial will be had to decide if he is guilty (convict) or not guilty (acquit). If he is found guilty he will be removed.
So will he be removed by the Senate?
It would be unprecedented. Trump is only the third President to be impeached in American history. The other two, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were acquitted by the Senate.
What will it take for the Senate to remove him?
Removal requires a 2/3 supermajority , not a simple majority like in the House of Representatives. That means 67 Senators would have to vote to convict. For example, all 45 Dems, 2 Independents, and 20 Republican Senators would have to vote to convict and remove.
Can Trump run again in 2020 if he is impeached?
Yes. He can still run for a second term. If, however, he were to be convicted and removed by the Senate, they could also vote to “disqualify” him from holding any office of honor. The disqualification is a separate judgement and only requires a majority vote (after conviction and removal, which requires a supermajority). Trump would then be ineligible to run again.
