‘evidence right now is not sufficient to convince two thirds of the Senate to vote to convict’
Wouldn’t matter. They just won’t convict.
That’s almost certainly true, but that is the main thrust of my argument. The founding fathers knew that getting two thirds of the Senate to convict would be very, very difficult. They wanted to make it so that it would be almost impossible to remove someone from office.
Right now we would have to get more than 20 democrat senators to vote to convict.
