American President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday night. He became the third president in the country’s 243-year history to be impeached, the Constitution’s answer to official “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The legislators charged Trump with abuse of office for personal political gain and blocking, or obstructing, the congressional impeachment investigation. The Democratic Party controls the House of Representatives. Trump is a member of the Republican Party. Democrats led Wednesday’s voting, describing the process as part of their duty to protect the Constitution. Republican lawmakers, however, continued to support their party’s leader. They argued that Democrats are impeaching Trump because they cannot beat him in the 2020 presidential election. The articles of impeachment now go to the Senate for trial.
