Nothing happens if Trump is impeached. An impeachment is only a formal accusation, nothing more. If he is impeached, the case will be sent to the Senate for trial and the senate will refuse to consider the charge/charges.
Trump committed the unforgivable sin of beating Queen Hillary and upsetting the Progressive timetable. For that, they will hound him as long as the American people allow it. If the News media was even slightly honest, they would be standing behind our duly elected President. He has done NOTHING wrong.

And since they will never get the required votes to remove, the Senate will reject the petition from the House. NOTHING will happen.

Yes your right he may make four years but the damage was done with the impreachment articles. Those who get upset enough to realize that Trump may not have been the best bet may change their votes. The Impeachment of Clinton the reps lost seats ,the same may happen to the dems.

Not exactly.
Being impeached does not mean he will be removed from office. It only means the House found that he may have done something they think meets the standard of the Constitution for removal from office. The House puts together their case and findings, and sends the package to the Senate for them to try the president, like a court the House's lawyers present their case with evidence and witnesses and the President and his lawyers presents their defense. If 2/3 of the Senate agrees with the House, only then can he be removed from office and Pence would become President and Pelosi becomes the VP.
I am certain that President Trump will be impeached given the attitude of the House and I am equally certain that the Senate will not find sufficient grounds to remove him from office. We have never had a President removed from office but, two Presidents were impeached: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Both committed misdemeators, but the Senate did not think the crimes were sufficient to remove them.
In the case of Clinton, The House charged him with four impeachment articles: two perjury charges, one charge of abuse of power and one of obstruction of justice. Only the one perjury impeachment article and that of obstruction of justice passed, and he had to stand trial in front of the Senate on these two charges. Johnson's impeachment was more damning. 11 articles were leveled against him, but only two made the cut, both considered "misdemeanors" and the Senate found him guilty; "reckless disregard for the economic interests of the citizens of the United States under Article I, reckless disregard for the principle of the separation of powers and specifically for disregarding the authority of the United States Supreme Court" He was sanctioned. Johnson served out his trrm and did not run for reelection. Clinton ran for reelection and won.
So, not removing him from office does not equal a "not guilty" just as impeachment does not equal "guilty." The House does not need to "prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt" and the Senate can slap his wrist and tell him to not do whatever they find him guilty of doing. Or the Senate can send a message to the House to stop wasting their time on frivilous complaints. And the worst case, they can remove him from office.

Only if the rest of American ignores what he's done and reelects him. So what are the chances that the rest of America is as corrupt as you?
