Trump out as President before 2027?

Platform comparison

Market context

Donald Trump faces a 9% crowd-implied probability of resigning or being removed from the presidency before the end of 2026, a threshold that hinges on permanent cessation of office rather than temporary invocation of the 25th Amendment. Historically, presidential removal is exceptionally rare; only Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Trump himself have been impeached by the House, with all three acquitted by the Senate [2][3]. Trump remains the first president convicted of felony crimes after leaving office, yet his prior impeachments in 2019 and 2021 failed to secure removal, suggesting that even significant legal jeopardy has not previously translated into constitutional expulsion [1][8]. Richard Nixon resigned before formal impeachment, but no sitting president has been removed via impeachment since the 19th century, framing the current 9% as an outlier bet against deep institutional precedent.

Traders should monitor upcoming sentencing dates, congressional hearings, and any formal announcements of resignation or removal, as the market resolves immediately upon such news regardless of when the effect takes place [1]. Key catalysts include potential new indictments, shifts in Republican congressional support, and any invocation of the 25th Amendment that might escalate to permanent removal under Section 4 [7]. Recent reports note the Smithsonian’s removal of Trump’s impeachment records from its presidency exhibit, reflecting evolving political narratives that could influence public and legislative pressure [6]. With the settlement window closing on 31 December 2026, the primary dependency remains whether legal or political developments overcome the Senate’s historical reluctance to convict, a dynamic that has consistently protected Trump from removal despite repeated charges [3].

How fast do sports winnings settle?

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.
