3 prediction markets price this story:
- Before Jan 20, 2029 — the market puts it at 55%, with $87 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 20 Jan 2029. Congress must pass legislation that overrides the presidential veto before January 20, 2029 for the outcome to be Yes. The deadline is the date of the new administration's inauguration, not the date of the veto itself. Readers often mistake the news headline about the White House backtracking as the final resolution, but only a successful congressional override counts.
- None of these — the market puts it at 6%, with $88 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if no named official is impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives between now and January 1, 2028. It resolves to No if at least one such impeachment occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of the current presidential term rather than the fixed date of January 1, 2028.
- Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 4%, with $332 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if any cabinet member is impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the deadline as applying to the impeachment vote rather than the date the process must be initiated.
