Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have officially impeached the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, over an interpretation of a 30-minute phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The vote in the House took place after around 10 hours of debate on the floor, after a near-three month process, and just one day shy of the 21-year anniversary of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton – another of only three Presidents ever impeached.
The two articles of impeachment passed as follows (numbers will update as results come in):
Article 1: Abuse of Power: 230 YEA vs 197 NAY vs 1 PRESENT
Two Democrats voted ‘NAY’ on Abuse of Power while one – believed to be Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard – simply voted “Present” – a form of abstention.
Article 2: Obstruction of Congress: [Awaiting Result]
[Awaiting Result] Democrats voted ‘No’ on Obstruction of Congress.

....”People have the wrong idea of what impeachment means.
....He still has the presumption of innocence and is not guilty of anything.”.....
Sheesh...even some on this thread are speaking like it’s the end of the world, as if they didn’t know how the D-rats would vote......
The reality is the Dems just past the ball into the Senate and Presidents court....now the plays truly begin come January.
Trump will be the first impeached President to be re-elected in a landslide.
This is no place for defeatism.
And let us communicate to him that Peeloosi had not a foot to stand on in the Senate.//
First impeachment by Nancy botox Shi@# piles!
In the long game, Demon rats are systematically and methodically destroying every aspect of liberty and American constitutional law.
And Hillary will be sworn in.
They’ve been doing this crap to Netanyahu for years in Israel, and he’s always prevailed.
Never. Stop dreaming. Just stop. It’s over. The Dems have won and cemented their reputation as completely and totally above the law and any consequences. Done and over.
Now they didn’t win anything.....this goes to the Senate and Presidents court now. This isn’t over.
It’s over.
Agreed on the hypocrisy (and more) of Pelosi.
Agree, except it won't be a close vote. Andrew Johnson was one vote away from being removed.
No it won’t. The Dems now begin their year long victory lap and the sheeple will fall right in line.
Congress is unhinged. We need term limits now!
Based on the succession act then in effect, President pro tempore of the Senate Ben Wade would have become Acting President pending a special presidential election.
Tom Rooney (R, FL-17)
He says he’s retiring at end of term.
If he were truly clever, he’d show up tomorrow and every day going forward with a scarlet “I” on his lapel. Every public appearance. Rub it in their faces. Make them talk about what it means. Show no hint of contrition. Stand tall, like the major capital L leader that he is. They can’t stand it/him/us. Good. Suck eggs.
they won’t. it will be we the people who serve them justice.
