The House of Representatives Has Voted to Impeach Donald Trump

This has only happened twice before - by Grace Back
  • 20 Dec 2019

On December 19, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump on two articles of impeachment. The vote came after an inquiry that began in September, when a whistleblower complaint surfaced regarding a phone call between Trump and Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The House held six hours of debate on the two articles of impeachment, as representatives took turns making the case for and against impeachment.

Prior to the vote, Trump wrote a nearly six-page letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, protesting the impeachment. He added on Twitter, "Can you believe that I will be impeached today by the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, AND I DID NOTHING WRONG! A terrible Thing. Read the Transcripts. This should never happen to another President again. Say a PRAYER!"

A president who has been impeached by the House can still serve as president — the Senate has to hold a trial to decide whether or not to remove them from office. In the past, the other two presidents impeached by the House — Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton — were acquitted by the Senate.
