Metsandfinsfan, on February 13, 2021, a 2/3 vote was required to uphold the House of Representatives article of impeachment against the former president Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors. The U.S. Senate's vote count was 57 for guilty, and 43 for not guilty.
Refer to U.S. Senate: U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 117th Congress - 1st Session .
Trump will again be judged by juries within the criminal court of Georgia and again in a District of Columbia federal court. Similar to the U.S. Senate, criminal court juries should consider all the evidence as presented to them and come to an objective decision. Unlike the U.S. Senate vote, criminal courts require unanimous agreement among all of the members of the jury for a guilty verdict to be upheld.
But to Trump's disadvantage, (unlike the U.S. Senate), those juries are not elected officials substantially dependent on their political affiliations. It's been my experience and opinion; U.S. citizens do strive to uphold the oaths they swear to as members of a jury.
