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.

I wonder what percentage of Demscum voters will be surprised when Trump is still President tomorrow? My guess is way more than 50%.
Anyone know how J. Amash (I-Palestine) voted?
There werent. The roll call wasnt done.
Yes on both.
So historic but they can’t show how they voted...for real?
We bought ammo.
2 possibilities that I see
Gutless wonders or they did not want to dignify this whole thing with a vote (that would be the best excuse for the gutless wonders)
From the Commie News Network:
Here’s what how the vote on the first article of impeachment abuse of power went down:
Democrats: 230 yeas
Republicans: 197 nays
One member, Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, voted present.
The vote on the second article of impeachment obstruction of Congress spilt almost entirely along party lines.
Here’s the final vote count:
Democrats: 230 yeas
Republicans: 197 nays
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, was again the only Democrat to vote present.
Thank you
I think not.
I’m seeing physical altercations coming. And I don’t mean throwing milkshakes at each other.

after the senate votes to not remove, he should step dup the pressure on NK. It would be nice to have anNobel Peace prize in his pocket before the election.
Pray for Virginia.
Amash, who now counts himself as an indepedent, not a Republican, voted for impeachment.
There was one Republican whose vote was recorded for about 90 seconds as an “Yes” vote, and then was switched to a “No” vote. It appears that the vote was misrecorded and then corrected. The CSPAN host mentioned that rather than using their electronic voting cards, most Republicans were going personnaly to the clerk to record their vote, so it likely was a mistake on the part of the clerk, rather than on the part of the Republican Congressperson.
