🗂 Part of event: Will Trump be impeached? →💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 4% chance — almost no chance.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 4% right now.
The 3% Yes price for US President impeachment is a baseline-low probability, not a reaction to recent events, as all provided headlines concern the unrelated Philippine Vice President's impeachment trial.
📊 Base rate: Since 1789, only three US presidents have been impeached (Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump twice) and none in a single term since 1999, making the historical base rate for any given term under 5%.
What's driving it
- • No headline about the US President appears; the market is anchored by the structural unlikelihood of impeachment rather than any fresh development (headlines are all about the Philippines).
- • The odds have held near 3% without change, implying traders see no credible threat of impeachment proceedings in the current US Congressional landscape (no contradictory headlines).
The case for YES
- • If a new scandal or crime involving the President surfaces and gains bipartisan traction, impeachment could become politically viable before the deadline.
- • A shift in House control to a party willing to pursue articles of impeachment, triggered by a special election or party defection, would raise the Yes probability.
The case for NO
- • The current 97% No odds reflect market consensus that the sitting House majority lacks both the will and the votes to impeach the President.
- • Impeachment is a slow political process, and with no recent committee investigations or public calls from leaders (none in the provided headlines), the path to a successful House vote by Jan 1, 2027, appears blocked.
What to watch
- • Any announcement of a House resolution to investigate or impeach the President: would sharply increase Yes odds (no such catalyst in provided headlines).
- • Release of a critical report from a Special Counsel or Inspector General detailing presidential misconduct: could spark new impeachment momentum, pushing Yes odds up (no such report mentioned).
