Donald Trump is still the US President but faces a Senate trial in 2020. 9News
Mr Nixon, after learning that Republicans would not support him during impeachment, resigned before the House could vote to impeach him.
At the trial, senators become jurors and the chief justice of the US Supreme Court presides - that's John Roberts. While Democrats hold a majority in the House, Republicans control the Senate with a 53-45 majority. Two independents usually side with Democrats. But it takes a supermajority to remove a President from office. That means 67 senators - two thirds of the 100 members - would have to agree that Mr Trump should be removed from office.
