The United States Senate has voted to clear President Donald Trump of charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The vote brought an end to the third impeachment trial in the nation’s history. It followed months of impeachment processes that demonstrated the nation’s sharp political divide three years into the Trump presidency. The U.S. House of Representatives, which has a Democratic majority, impeached Trump in December. The impeachment trial in the Republican-led Senate began in January. The U.S. Constitution requires two-thirds, or 67, guilty votes in the Senate to remove a president from office for high crimes and misdemeanors. Democrats who brought the impeachment charges fell short of that Wednesday. All but one Republican senator said that Trump, a member of the Republican Party, was not guilty of the two charges he faced. All Democrats in the Senate voted guilty.
