Trump is now the only American president to be impeached two times. Two other presidents were also impeached and found not guilty of charges. Trump received the same ruling last year after his 2019 impeachment.
The House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump Wednesday afternoon, making him the first president in American history to be impeached twice.

WASHINGTON Five out of Ohio’s 16 members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of a second impeachment of President Donald Trump Wednesday, alongside the remaining 227 majority.
But only one of Ohio’s 12 Republican delegates to that legislative body was among them.
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, representing the 16th District, broke party ranks Wednesday supporting the impeachment, noting the attack on the Capitol last week put the lives of lawmakers in “grave danger as a result of the president’s actions.”
Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, representing the southern and eastern border counties of Ohio’s 6th District (18 counties including Athens, Belmont, Jefferson, Harrison, Meigs, Monroe, Noble and Washington) voted against both a second impeachment of the president and against the House’s call for use of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
“It’s sad that we have to get to that point, but you know our expectation is that someone may try to kill us,” the Republican from Michigan told MSNBC.
