President Donald Trump
The House is poised to make Donald Trump the first President in United States history to be impeached for a second time on Wednesday with a swift and bipartisan vote to condemn Trump s role inciting the riots at the US Capitol.
Live coverage of the impeachment vote begins at 8 a.m. Watch the events as they unfold in the player below.
House Democrats and at least a handful of Republicans including the House s No. 3 Republican will vote in favor of the impeachment of Trump just one week after a deadly mob overran Capitol Police, ransacked the US Capitol and put the lives of Vice President Mike Pence and lawmakers in danger.
The House approved a resolution, 223 to 205, urging Vice President Pence and the Cabinet to use their powers under the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump, with Rep. Adam Kinzinger the only Republican supporting it.
She is the highest-ranking Republican to call for the president s impeachment in the wake of last Wednesday s deadly Capitol Hill riot, which Trump helped incite with lies and incendiary rhetoric.
Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., earlier said he would support impeachment after the president stirred up a mob that attacked the Capitol while Congress counted President-elect Joe Biden s presidential win. Reps. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., Fred Upton, R-Mich., and Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., later joined Cheney and Katko. The riot left five people, including a Capitol police officer, dead.
In a statement, Cheney said Trump summoned this mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.
The House voted Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time in a swift and bipartisan condemnation of the President's role inciting last week's riot at the US Capitol.
