Remember this: Republicans control 53 seats in the Senate. Even if the Democratic-led House impeaches Trump, he will not be removed until 67 senators vote to convict him. Which, by a bit of back-of-the-envelope math, means that 20 GOP senators would have to side with all 47 Democrats (and independents who caucus with Democrats) in the Senate for Trump to actually be removed.

A simple majority of the House of Representatives (at least 218 votes) is required to impeach a U.S. President followed by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate (at least 67 votes).

And yet the House went with it knowing it'll likely fail. Maybe that's why many people believe that they are just doing this for media coverage (which they already have much of). Just keep making accusations without having to prove them, what's important is that the accusations stick into people's minds.
The House has to do the right thing and what is expected of them even though the Senate will upturn the decision of the House and the end of the day. The important to them will be that, the House has made history by adding Donald Trump to the two other American president to be impeached in the history United States of America.

Will the United States of America president Donald Trump scale through this impeachment at the Senate? Some people are of the believe that the Senate will upturn the impeachment decision by the National Assembly. Do you agree with them?

Just like I have said in my earlier post, they will continue to vote along party line whether the accused is guilty or not. The Democrats would believe that they have done the right thing while the Republicans would continue to convince themselves that its a pure witch hunt and its a ploy for the Democrats to take over power in 2020 believing that Mike Pence who would become the president should Trump leaves might not be able to give them the grasp of power till 2024. The shame and joke is actually on the analysts and the reporters who made it their life mission to ensure that the reportage did not stop and continue to make everything news.

So, technically the Senate can't stop the House from moving forward with the impeachment process steps. It can, however, stop a president from being convicted and removed from office. In fact, in several instances throughout history, American presidents have been impeached by the House, but not convicted by the Senate — meaning they remained in office.
