Donald Trump Makes History As 1st President To Be Impeached For 2nd Time

New Delhi: U.S. President Donald Trump has been impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for a second time in history. Members of the lower chamber of Congress voted 232 to 197 in favour of impeaching him on Wednesday over one charge: “incitement of insurrection.”

Over hours of debate in Capitol surrounded by Guardsmen and several new methods of security measures after last week's seige, Democrats argued that Trump has provided enough danger to the country.

"The president of the United States incited this insurrection, this armed rebellion, against our common country. He must go," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif said. "He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love."

The 10 republicans who voted to impeach Trump were, Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo, the No. 3 Republican in House leadership Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, R-Ohio, Rep, Jamie Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., Rep. Tom Rice, R-S.C., Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., and Rep. David Valadao, R-Calif.

Just Herrera Beutler and Newhouse spoke on the House was in support of impeachment.

The House impeached Trump last year for his phone call to Ukraine's president encouraging efforts to to throw up dirt on opposite candidate Joe Biden.
