FWIW... The House votes to impeach. A simple majority does it. The Senate then convenes a trial. A guilty verdict in the Senate with 2/3 majority is required to remove Trump from office.
Thus sayeth the US Constitution:
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5:
"The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."
Article 1, Section 3, Clause 6:
"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."
