I hadf forgotten how close the votes were on the Senate impeachment trial....

55-45 on the perjury charge


It was 55-45 against removal on the perjury charge. In what universe is a 55-45 not guilty vote close to the 2/3 majority needed for removal?

You need 2/3 to convict yet the Republican led Senate couldn't even muster over 50 votes for either charge.
