There is only one problem with this. The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict. Even with 66 Senate republications, you still have mitt romney who will not go along with a conviction, just for spite. Then you have miss lindsey and a couple of others. I don't think that it's possible to actually score 16 additional seats this election.
Your analysis is correct.
Fortunately, impeachment is but one of the possible scenarios.
