If Donald Trump is impeached and then removed from office , the Vice President becomes President under the U.S. Constitution’s Twenty‑Fifth Amendment.

Who actually takes over?

  • First in line : The sitting Vice President automatically becomes President if Trump is removed by impeachment, dies, or resigns.
  • If the VP cannot serve : The line of succession continues with the Speaker of the House, then the President pro tempore of the Senate, followed by certain Cabinet‑level officials (starting with the Secretary of State), as set by the Presidential Succession Act.

Impeachment vs. removal

  • Impeachment alone does not remove a president ; it’s only the House charging him.
  • Removal requires conviction by the Senate with a two‑thirds majority; only then does the succession rule kick in.

So, in short: if Trump is impeached and then removed, the Vice President becomes President —and that’s the current constitutional rule, regardless of which party is in power.
