Trumpâs Second Impeachment Will Be An Impeachment Like No Other
Trump will be impeached an unprecedented second time for being âan imminent threatâ to the nation.
Three U.S. presidents have been impeached by the House. President Donald Trump is about to be the first to be impeached twice â and for the most serious impeachment charge in history: inciting an insurrection that left five dead as part of a plot to keep him in power by forcing Congress to overturn the results of an election he lost.
The House of Representatives plans to vote to impeach Trump on Wednesday. Itâs unclear what will happen next and whether the (soon-to-be-formerly) Republican-controlled Senate will launch a trial within the final days of Trumpâs term.
US lawmakers’ push to impeach Donald Trump after Capitol riot could deliver ‘death blow’ to president, experts say.
As of Sunday, the Article of Impeachment against Trump had 200 co-sponsors in the 435-seat chamber, where Democrats hold a slim majority.
Legislators’ hopes of barring Trump from future office will hinge on a constitutional question of whether a Senate impeachment trial can proceed after a president has already left the White House.
An extraordinary breach of the United States Capitol by rioters egged on by President Donald Trump has led legislators into uncharted territory as they set course for impeachment with just days left in Trump’s term.

It was a sentence that betrayed a yearning for America s political past, when hate and discord hadn t yet completely overtaken the country s politics. But will that wish be fulfilled?
