Just a note of clarification for my non-US friends: trump has officially been impeached, and that will always remain in the history books. The US senate will have the second phase (a trial) to determine if he will removed from office. It is doubtful there will be enough votes for removal. But regardless, non-removal does not erase impeachment. Trump is impeached If he is not removed from office by a Senate vote, he can be a Presidential candidate in 2020.
