2nd Trump Impeachment: How The PA Delegation Voted - Pittsburgh, PA - The House has taken the unprecedented move of impeaching a president for a second time. Here's how Pennsylvania representatives voted.
Trump was impeached by the House 13 months ago, this time, however, House Republicans are expected to back the impeachment.
Congress moved forward with impeaching Trump after his supporters carried out a deadly attack at the US Capitol on January 6.
The single article of impeachment, which specifically cites “incitement of insurrection,” will be debated on the House floor on Wednesday (January 13) morning.
It states: “President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United State and its institutions of Government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.”
