The House Judiciary Committee has just passed both Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump, putting the 45th president just steps away from a full House vote next week that is all but guaranteed to deliver the same result. Before year’s end there is every reason to assume Trump will become just the third president ever to be impeached.
The vote, concluded at 10:09 AM on Friday the 13th of December, after three days of debate. Thursday’s debate ran 13 hours, and concluded around 11 PM so the American people could watch their representatives in the light of the next day fulfill their constitutional responsibilities.
Many of the Republicans on the committee offered an angry “No.”
The final vote for each of the two Articles was 23-17.
