Market context
Donald Trump is expected to remain in office as President of the United States through 30 June 2026, with no active impeachment proceedings, 25th Amendment invocations, or resignation signals in Congress or the executive branch. The Polymarket crowd-implied probability for his removal by that date is 0% for “Yes”, reflecting a 99.5% consensus that he will stay in power[1]. This stands in stark contrast to Kalshi’s estimate of nearly 28.7% for impeachment and removal over his second term, a figure that has risen sharply from 22.1% in April[3]. Sportsbooks and other prediction markets show similar divergence: while Polymarket assigns near-zero odds to removal by 30 June, the broader “Trump out before 2027” market on Polymarket implies a 10% chance[4], and a July 31 variant on Lines.com shows 1.3%[5].
Historically, presidential removals have been rare and require extraordinary constitutional conditions. The 25th Amendment’s Section 4 allows removal only if the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet declare the President unfit, followed by a two-thirds Congressional vote[6]. No such process has ever been completed successfully. Comparable cases, such as Nixon’s resignation under political pressure or the failed impeachment attempts against Clinton and Trump, underscore that removal demands overwhelming bipartisan consensus—currently absent given Republican control of both House and Senate[7]. Traders should monitor scheduled congressional votes, Cabinet statements, and any sudden legal developments, though no credible news source has reported imminent removal signals as of 29 June 2026. The twelve-day window leaves insufficient time for any constitutional removal process to conclude[1].

Resolution & payout
Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.
