Not american, wanted to know what exactly the dems can now do that they couldn’t before. What does this mean for the supreme court, and what does it mean for the next presidential elections?

    Regarding removal after impeachment, what you said is true. However, a senate investigation can now happen, without convicting. Basically, they can drag Trump through the conviction process, air his dirty laundry, and then put it to a vote. This would also force Republican senators to vote against conviction even though the investigation would turn up a lot of disgusting shit.

    Additionally, state level wise, it’s fully possible that the electoral college is removed, now that the remaining few states needed might be willing to sign on to the compact.
