U.S. House Impeaches Trump for Second Time

M. Ali 14 January, 2021 2:00 am Breaking News, Market Update

The United States House of Representatives on Wednesday impeached President Donald Trump, making him the first president in the history of the U.S. to be impeached twice.

All Democrats plus 10 Republicans in the house voted in favor of the articles of impeachment, which charged Trump with inciting an insurrection.

The vote was 232 to 197, and the articles of impeachment have now been sent to the Senate.

Bloomberg reported that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested the option of invoking a 2004 emergency session law to convene a trial this week.

This would need the approval of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is reportedly rejecting holding an immediate impeachment trial, seeing no sufficient time with the Trump presidency set to end in a few days, according to Reuters.
