uhh....you need 2/3rds for a conviction, that’s 67. That’s a long way off. From the US Constitution see below

“....................

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

.........................................”

You're right. I didn't think we were at the "trial" stage yet. My bad.
