It seems certain that he would have been impeached and tried in the Senate. What would happen in the Senate is less clear. These were 56 Democrats and 67 votes were required for conviction. Even if Nixon was thought to be guilty it was not certain that he should be removed from office. It would depend in part on his defense and how the trial went. If he were removed from office, he would no doubt have been brought to trial, but could still be pardoned and likely would have been.
