    Not quite. He was told that there were enough votes against him (including from his own party) that he’d lose impeachment proceedings, and that was the impetus for his resignation.

      Id call that shame of not wanting to face the impeachment. Trump on the other hand would have kept the course even if he knew every congressman and senator would vote he was guilty and to be impeached and removed. And if the likes of Romney had bothered to discuss their disgust of his actions there was a small but real chance he would have been convicted.
