Trump Impeachment Trial-Which Republican US Senator could vote yes to remove Trump from office?

[nkpolitics1212]

Impeachment is likely to take place after the 2018 elections. Every highly vulnerable Democratic US Senator up for re-election in 2018 (Donnelly-IN,McCaskill-MO,Heitkamp-ND,and Brown-OH) will win re-election and highly vulnerable Republican US Senator up for re-election in 2018 (Flake-AZ,Heller-NV,and Cruz-TX) will lose re-election.
Every Democratic US Senator will vote yes to remove Trump from office- 51 Yes.
The number of Republican US Senators that we need to vote yes is 16.

1. Isn't impeachment a House thing?

3. House votes to impeach, Senate tries and votes on removal based on House case.

with Chief Justice USSC officiating. 2/3 majority in Senate (66 yea) required to convict/remove.

4. Impeachment is in the House, Removal is after a "trial" in the Senate.

Impeachment is the loose equivalent to being indicted. Charges are brought by the House. If they vote to Impeach, the "case" is referred to the Senate where evidence is presented, with the Chief Justice presiding. The Senate then votes whether to remove the President from office.
