US President Donald Trump has been indicted again for creating a different history. He was impeached in the lower house of parliament on Wednesday after hours of debate. Trump has twice been indicted as the first president of the United States.
Ten lawmakers from Trump's Republican Party also voted in favor of the impeachment. There were 231 votes in favor of the proposal and 197 against. A majority required 217 votes.
Among the 10 Republicans who voted in favor of impeachment in the House of Representatives are Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, Anthony Gonzalez, Adam Kinzinger, John Cutco, Jamie Herrera, Dan Newhouse, Peter Meizer, Fred Upton, Tom Rice and Tom. Valeda.
Liz Cheney says no president of the United States has ever committed a greater betrayal than his oath.
My impeachment vote meant 'sending a clear message,'" said Fred Upton. And that is, the country cannot and will not tolerate any attempt by a president to hand over power peacefully.
In response, Anthony Gonzalez blamed Trump for the Capitol riots. Other lawmakers also responded at the same time.
Even if Trump is impeached in the House of Representatives, he will remain in office. He does not have to resign as the motion was not passed in the Senate. Senate leader Mitch McConnell has said the Senate will not convene before January 20. Trump's term expires on the same day and Joe Biden's inauguration will take place.
