- Trump impeached and removed before 2028?17¢17%
Democrats’ projected takeover of the House after the 2026 midterms gives them subpoena power and the ability to advance articles of impeachment against President Trump in the new Congress convening January 2027. However, trader consensus favoring “No” at 75.9% reflects the high bar for removal: Senate conviction requires a two-thirds majority, a threshold unmet in prior Trump impeachments and unlikely amid divided or narrow partisan control. Democratic leaders have signaled investigations into administration policies, business dealings, and cabinet officials as priorities, while expressing caution about a third Trump impeachment that would likely fail in the Senate. Historical precedent shows no president has been removed through this process, and the remaining two years of the term provide limited time for both chambers to complete proceedings before January 2029.
Rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump is impeached and removed from the office of President of the United States by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Impeachment means the U.S. House of Representatives approves one or more articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. Removal means the U.S. Senate votes to convict Donald Trump on one or more articles of impeachment by the two-thirds vote required under the U.S. Constitution, as announced by the presiding officer of the Senate. The conviction will be considered to occur at the time of that announcement. Whip counts, statements of intended votes, and partial vote tallies will not qualify. This market will resolve to “Yes” upon a qualifying conviction, regardless of when the Senate pronounces judgment, whether it votes on disqualification from future office, whether Donald Trump vacates the office, or any legal challenge to the conviction. Impeachment without a Senate conviction will not qualify. An acquittal or dismissal of articles of impeachment will not, on its own, resolve this market. A transfer of presidential powers to the Vice President under the 25th Amendment will not qualify and will not count as leaving office. If Donald Trump formally leaves the office of President of the United States for any reason before a qualifying conviction, this market will immediately resolve to “No”. An announcement of a future resignation does not count as leaving office. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. Congress, including Senate roll call votes; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
