When will the final vote be? It's thought that due to a speedy timetable put forward by politicians, the Senate could vote whether to convict as early as Monday.
But before then each side will put forward their arguments in a schedule that looks like this:
Tuesday: Four hours for both sides to present arguments about whether the trial is constitutional, followed by a vote (which is expected to pass). In what's expected to be one of their core arguments, Trump's lawyers have said it is unconstitutional because Trump has left office and is now a private citizen.
Wednesday: Arguments for the trial begin, with each side being given 16 hours over the following days.
Weekend: Opening arguments are expected to be over, and Senators will be able to post questions to both sides.
Politicians on both sides are said to want a speedy trial.
You might recall that Trump's first impeachment Senate trial, in early 2020, took much longer - around three weeks.
It's worth remembering the maths in all of this. A two-thirds of the 100-seat Senate is required to convict Trump - Democrats hold 48 seats and there is little sign enough Republicans will join them.
