With talk of impeachment, we spoke with a law professor about how the process might look.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry into President Trump surrounding his conversation with the leader of Ukraine. Scott Gerber of Ohio Northern University says this is the first step in the process. The House investigates if the president committed treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors. If they find that, they'll draw up articles of impeachment and it'll move to the Senate to decide.
"If they draft articles of impeachment against President Trump, yeah, there would then be - if Sen. McConnell decides to convene a trial, they're will be a trial and then the Senate would vote whether to remove him from office or not," Gerber said. "That'll never happen."
Gerber says he thinks this came about with Democrats feeling the pressure of a Trump re-election.
