The third time in history, just the third time the house has voted to impeach a president for high crimes and misdemeanors. Yesterday there was a lot of hours of debate and the house voted mostly along party lines. President trump is charged with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. After weeks of impeachment hearings, more than 200 lawmakers used wednesdays day long debate as one more opportunity to layout their arguments. Im voting no because the president has done nothing wrong. Our foremothers and forefathers shed their blood to build and defense this democracy. I refuse to have it undermined. Reporter as the votes were happening, President Trump was campaigning in michigan and he chastized democrats over the impeachment. The next step is a trial in the senate and House Speaker nancy pelosi said she is going to hang on to those articles of impeachment. She basically wants to demand a fair process in the senate. What reason did Speaker Pelosi give for the possible delay . Reporter she wants to make sure it is a fair process. There is a lot of back and forth about witnesses and documents. You may remember that Chuck Schumer had asked for four witnesses. Mitch mcconnell balked at that.
