I don't think he can face charges in office. I think indictment is issued (openly or secretly - which is itself nice leverage) then charges are faced once out of office.

By 'convicted of charges', I was referring to the process in the Senate after an impeachment vote and the subsequent vote to issue changes. If found guilty, there would be a subsequent vote to remove from office. The whole process would take years.
Anyway, I was only mentioning it because I saw the impeachment magic wand being waved again further up the thread.
¡apesta!
Impeachment means basically nothing. The real end would be to convict him of charges and then remove him from office (or hope that he resigns, as was the case with Nixon).
This might happen, but only if Trump is elected for a second term.
