Trump Impeached: Here's what happens next

India TV News  

President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday night, becoming only the third American chief executive to be formally charged under the Constitution’s ultimate remedy for high crimes and misdemeanors. “It doesn’t really feel like we’re being impeached," Trump said as he opened a campaign rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, on Wednesday night. After a few words about Christmas, Trump said to thousands packed into the Kellogg Arena: “By the way, it doesn’t really feel like we’re being impeached.” The president cited “tremendous support” for him in the Republican Party and said the country is “doing better than ever before.” Aides had said Trump would wait to see the vote in the House before coming out to address the rally, but he came out early and promised “the best speech you’ve ever heard.” The House impeachment resolution laid out in stark terms the two articles of impeachment against Trump stemming from his July phone call when he asked the Ukraine president for a “favor” — to announce it was investigating Democrats ahead of the 2020 election. “They want to take away my vote and throw it in the trash.” But Democrats warned the country cannot wait for the next election to decide whether Trump should remain in office because he has shown a pattern of behavior, particularly toward Russia, and will try to corrupt U.S. elections in 2020.
