President Donald J. Trump was impeached tonight, marking the third time in the nation’s history that the House of Representatives voted to impeach a sitting president.
The historic vote followed a daylong debate on whether Trump violated his oath in pressuring Ukraine to damage a political opponent.
The 230-197 vote to impeach Trump for abuse of power was almost entirely along party lines and is to be followed quickly by a second vote on whether Trump obstructed Congress. As members wrapped up the vote, GOP members chanted, “Four more years! Four more years!”
The Senate trial on whether to remove the president is expected to begin in early January.
