In a historic development, the U.S. House voted Wednesday to impeach President Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors, making him the only president in U.S.
history impeached twice, after instigating an attack on the U.S. House. The impeachment vote on H. Res. 27 in the U.S. House was 231-197 and largely along party lines, although 10 Republicans, including Rep.
Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), joined Democrats in voting to approve the article of impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) presided as the vote was called.
Impeachment proceedings will now head to the U.S. Senate, which under the Constitution is a required to hold a trial, a process that will continue into the Biden administration.
