House Judiciary passes Trump impeachment articles

The House Judiciary committees marathon Thursday session ended with Chairman Jerry Nadler postponing the final vote on articles of impeachment until this morning.

Why do House Democrats believe impeachment is necessary in this case?

The House Judiciary Committee has just passed two articles of impeachment against US President Donald Trump, marking only the fourth time in American history that a sitting president has faced impeachment proceedings.

The articles allege that Mr Trump abused his power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rivals ahead of the 2020 election, and then obstructed Congress by refusing to cooperate with the investigation into the matter. The President has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has refused to cooperate with the investigation, calling the entire process a “hoax” and a “witch hunt”.

House Democrats have made the case that impeachment is necessary in order to protect the integrity of the US electoral system and hold the President accountable for his actions. “This is a solemn and sad day,” said Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler. “For the third time in a little over a century and a half, the House Judiciary Committee has voted articles of impeachment against the President for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.”

The Judiciary Committee vote comes after a lengthy and highly contentious investigation into Mr Trump’s alleged misconduct. The investigation has exposed deep divisions within the House of Representatives along party lines, with Republicans denouncing the impeachment effort as a partisan attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election.

Despite the acrimony, however, Democrats have remained resolute in their determination to hold the President accountable. “The President’s actions seriously violated the Constitution,” said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in a statement. “He abused the power of his office by engaging in a scheme to withhold congressionally-approved military aid to Ukraine in order to advance his own political interests.”

The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on the articles of impeachment next week, and if they pass, the case will move to the Senate for trial. While the President’s removal from office remains a long shot given the Republican majority in the Senate, impeachment has already left an indelible mark on Mr Trump’s presidency and on American history.
