Congress is made up of 2 separate entities: the house and the senate. The only thing the house (which is mostly democrats at the moment) has the power to do is send the president to trial (impeachment). It is similar to an indictment, nothing more. Once they impeach the president, the senate conducts the actual trial. Right now, the senate is mostly republicans. After the trial, 2/3rds of them will need to vote to remove Trump from office in order for him to actually be removed, they won't.

The senate has already said they will wait until after New Years before they do anything. You can resume not caring about this subject until it's in headlines again in about a month
