WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives on Wednesday impeached President Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, making him the third president in history to be charged with committing high crimes and misdemeanors and face removal by the Senate.

On a day of constitutional consequence and raging partisan tension, the votes on the two articles of impeachment fell largely along party lines, after a bitter debate that stretched all day and into the evening, reflecting the deep polarization gripping American politics in the Trump era.

All but two Democrats supported the article on abuse of power, which accused Mr. Trump of corruptly using the levers of government to solicit election assistance from Ukraine in the form of investigations to discredit his Democratic political rivals. Republicans were united in opposition. It passed 230 to 197, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi gaveling the vote to a close from the House rostrum.

The impeachment votes set the stage for a historic trial beginning early next year in the Senate, which will have final say — 10 months before Mr. Trump faces re-election — on whether to acquit the 45th president or convict and remove him from office. The timing was uncertain, after Ms. Pelosi suggested late Wednesday that she may wait to send the articles to the Senate, holding them out as leverage in a negotiation on the terms of a trial.

I dont think it means anything to voters, man. Everyone’s already made up their mind. Its been an interesting nearly-3 years with Trump, impeachment doesnt even feel like it makes the top 5.

Thats the thing with republicans. they simply dont care. Not like democrats who are so pathetic already to come up with any silly excuse for not to vote.

But despite everyone saying Trump will win again, I’ve a different feeling. It all ends up to the voter turnout

Too early still, but let’s see. Not like the Dems have any good pragmatic candidates in the running. I’m wondering if Trump would be so bad again - he and his people are too inept to do most of the bad things they want to get done, meanwhile his voters’ districts are the ones getting screwed the worst from the trade war fallout. A socialist Bernie or all around liar Warren or old uncle corruption Biden all seem to be capable of major economic damage to the productive parts of the country.

He will be the first impeached imcumbent pres to get re-elected. This will soon make it on the pol sci classes in high schools.
