House set to vote on second Donald Trump impeachment on Wednesday

Overnight, the House called on Vice President Mike Pence to strip President Donald Trump of his power, but the vice president had already informed the House that he wouldn't invoke the 25th Amendment.

The House of Representatives is expected to impeach President Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon for an unprecedented second time, after Vice President Mike Pence rejected using the 25th Amendment in a bid to to remove Trump from office.

The Democratic-led House is moving to charge Trump with “incitement to insurrection” for stoking the mob attack on the Capitol that left five people dead, including a police officer, and disrupted lawmakers from confirming President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

The House convened Wednesday morning to discuss rules and began debate on the article of impeachment at around 12:30 p.m. ET. Lawmakers are expected to vote on the article at around 3 p.m.

There is little doubt about the outcome, with Trump almost certain to go down in U.S. history as the only president to be impeached twice. More than 210 lawmakers have co-sponsored the article of impeachment and several Republicans, including Rep. Liz Cheney, have expressed their support.

Trump was impeached the first time in December 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for his attempt to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Biden family. The Republican-controlled Senate voted to acquit him.

How and when the Senate will vote this time is less clear. The upper chamber is in recess, and it requires unanimous consent to bring the body back. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly believes Trump committed impeachable offenses, and at least two GOP senators have called on Trump to resign.

The house representatives have broken many laws over the last 4 years. Sedition is the repeating law that is being broken. Don't agree, look up the term and remember that the president of the united states is an authority.

bigs.:

Imagine if the government could move this fast in passing a ban on job outsourcing.

wrecker:

Amazing how slow the stimulus package moved through, you know... that life saving money to help feed Americans. But as soon as the word impeachment gets thrown around everyone actually does their job. The vote happens within days. Hypocrisy at its finest

Lakota92:

One day voters from both sides will realize they got played into believing the government had their best interest at heart.

Chris Mendes:

A complete petty waste of time and resources. It truly shows their incompetence and tunnel vision and can only serve to fuel the fire more. Let it go!

Devin Murrell:

It be nice if our government was as worried about getting us 2000$ checks as they are about impeaching Trump?

Sean Pearce:

Yes let’s waste more of our taxpayer money. We need term limits and to get rid of everyone in Congress, regardless of political affiliation.

Andy:

I'm reminded of the fable about a man who was concerned about the dangers of a trip he was about to take who visited a psychic to check his fate. The psychic told him she foresaw his death, so he cancelled his trip. He then met his death at home which he would have avoided if he travelled.

""Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one's office that I can imagine"" -- Mitt Romney 2020
His comment didn't age well.

Garret Zenanko:

They are all going down and they are panicking. 🐸🍿

Grantherum:

There has to be something they can do with the exorbitant amounts of money we pay those congresspersons other than waste time impeaching someone that is already leaving office in a week.

True Story:

He is leaving office in 7 days so this is moot they cannot get it through the house and senate in time. Stop wasting American tax payers money and work for the people and not your own parties whims.

soirée:

Boy Oh Boy, they’ve even managed to LIE about the thumbs down button.

Ray Bod:

House needs to work on the economy. Censure and move on. Pelosi didn't get the hint by losing House seats. If she continues to screw up, the House will go Republican next election.

Bill Hader:

Wow they worked over night?! What if they did that to give us our money...

TONEakaSHOW:

He is out in a week why are they wasting time with this? Also didn't he already get impeached? And what did that do?

Unrelated: the fireplace and bookshelf background looks so nice. Also her hair and outfit are classy compared to what most newscasters look like now.

CS Fabrication, LLC:

They have no clue of what's coming 🤣🤣🤣😍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Go TRUMP !!!!!!

Ashaz Hussain:

For all those asking why Trump needs to be impeached when he’s already gonna end his term soon?
Because the future needs to know that when a president invokes an insurrection, there will be consequences to his actions. To set an example of what happens when you cross the line.

Let Up And Ride Mark D'Angelo:

Impeach first then incarcerate.

American Paisa Returns:

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capital building to PEACEFULLY and PATRIOTICALLY make your voices heard.”

TonalHarmony:

Politically, and otherwise, I predict that things are going to go very badly for those who voted to impeach. The evidence will come out, and not at all on their terms.

Dave Nonyabiz:

a bill is being introduced to ban any public bldgs or airports from being named after trump. Damn they are thinking of everything, gotta love it

ThatDamnedYankee:

Might be a better idea to just leave the whole thing alone until his fraudulence takes the oath.

ABÉ:

Yeah, let's go ahead and vote on impeaching Trump on Inauguration day. Took y'all the entire 4 year term to finally decide on that? God damn.

Red Fox:

I am interested in the rest of the stimulus check, then their petty vengeance!!!

Starla Night333:

They are quick to pull this impeachment off but when it came to the stimulus and helping people out financially it takes them eight months. Purely pathetic

Kiet Dao:

I wish our stimulus package is also rolling this fast. How are they moving so fast with 10,000 pages of impeachment

Ms. Hotdog Legs:

I wonder how much it costs for this special impeachment session?

~ FREEDOM ~:

And this is more important to Pelosi than our Covid relief help? I am livid over this.

shirleen iton:

On Jan 6th, we almost celebrated Pence's homegoing service or pleading for his release from abduction, had Trump took the bold stand to prevent the insurrection and give Pence a " you aiight bro", text message or phone call.
But thanks to the almighty God for the law enforcement officers who risked their lives to save him and others in that building on that day, in just the right time.

jim Ghigliotti:

Hey Nancy think you can find something else to waste taxpayers money on this is getting old!

Amanecer 777:

They Need to focus on the Stimulus still owed to us!

D Gray:

Why stop at 2 impeachments? Go for an impeachment every hour and show everyone how petty and powerless congress can be when they have a grudge.

Troy Flores:

This is what we are to expect from the house then expect nothing to get done for the American people.

Enrico Pallazzo:

Hey I’d rather them be wasting time doing this than creating laws that will actually affect people.

IK:

Trump reminds me of the following quote;

"I don't think anyone's done more than I have to wreck the China shop,'' said the bull

Karla Barnes:

How do you get impeached twice. Look it didn’t work the first time so I think the American people need to set limitations on Congress, Senators, and every official office. Impeach ask for the resignation of everyone who continues to allow our freedom of speech to be undermined!

Dr.EricaJonesFutureProfessional:

Great job!!!👏🏾👏🏾 8 days or not. Accountability is a must in order to prevent this mess from happening again. No coddling Trump or his enablers.

ralph holiman:

They really got him this time! Yep, this is it. This time, it's really going to work. Probably. Well, it has a slight chance. Very slight. Okay, it's all theatre for their base. We knew that.
