Trump’s Second Impeachment Will Be An Impeachment Like No Other
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Three U.S. presidents have been impeached by the House. Trump’s actions make him “an imminent threat,” perpetrating an “ongoing assault on our democracy” that demands an “immediate need for action,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a letter to the House Democratic Caucus. “You have to show strength and be strong.” He added that “if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” while telling the crowd to give “the weak” Republicans the “kind of pride and boldness they need to take back our country.” “These comments directly incited a violent attack on the Capitol that threatened the safety and lives of the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, and the President pro tempore of the Senate, the first three individuals in the line of succession to the presidency,” the impeachment report states. “President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government,” according to the articles of impeachment. “Whether impeachment can pass the United States Senate is not the issue,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters Monday.
