Tracking the House Vote to Impeach Trump a Second Time

The U.S. House voted 232-197 on Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump for his role encouraging his supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. He’s the only U.S. president in history to be impeached twice.

Ten House Republicans voted on Wednesday to impeach Trump after his encouragement of last week’s assault on the Capitol, making it the most bipartisan impeachment of a president in U.S. history. The House first impeached Trump in Dec. 2019 without any Republican support. Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, one Republican who voted to impeach, previously said that the removal of Trump from office would be “the best way for this country to heal.” Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the No. 3 House Republican leader, also voted to impeach Trump.

In a separate vote on Tuesday, the House voted 223-205 to pass a resolution recommending that Vice President Mike Pence and the cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment, which would remove Trump from the presidency and install Pence in his place for the remainder of the term. Speaker Nancy Pelosi previously said Pence would have 24 hours to act—something he said he wouldn’t do.

Impeaching Trump sends the matter to the Senate for a trial, where two-thirds of senators would have to agree to convict the president. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rejected an effort to call an emergency session of the Senate to quickly begin impeachment proceedings, meaning a trial would likely not occur before Trump leaves office on Jan. 20.
