Trump out as President before 2027?

Platform comparison

Market context

Donald Trump remains in office as President of the United States, with the current market implying only a 10% chance he resigns or is removed before the end of 2026. This low probability reflects the historical rarity of a sitting president permanently ceasing office without death; only Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 before formal impeachment, while Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Trump himself were impeached twice but acquitted by the Senate in every instance [1][2][4]. No president has been removed via the 25th Amendment’s Section 4 since its adoption, and temporary invocations of Section 3 do not qualify as permanent removal under this market’s rules [3].

Traders should monitor upcoming congressional schedules, potential Supreme Court rulings on Trump’s 2024 felony convictions, and any formal announcements of resignation or removal proceedings, as these would immediately resolve the market to “Yes” regardless of when effects take place [1]. Recent news highlights the Smithsonian’s removal of Trump’s impeachment references from its presidency exhibit, underscoring shifting institutional narratives that may influence political pressure [7]. For accessibility, this market operates under German GlüStV regulatory frameworks and US CFTC reach, with “no-KYC up to $1,500” meaning users can trade without identity verification for stakes below that threshold, enhancing participation while maintaining compliance.
