Trump impeached by House of Representatives over Ukraine dealings (businessinsider.com)
submitted by lyndonb 3 years ago

From the article:

The Democratic-led House of Representatives voted on Wednesday night to impeach President Donald Trump.

The first article of impeachment against Trump, which charges him with abuse of power, passed the House with a vote of 230-197.

And:

The second article of impeachment, charging Trump with obstruction of Congress, passed the House after a majority of 216 lawmakers voted in favor of it.

So two counts, and the third president in U.S. history to be impeached.

I really think the House did the right thing here - if a Dem had done the same I'd want him/her to be impeached as well.

Too bad this is going no where in the Senate, but at least the system still (sort of) works.
