IT IS DONE. ON 12-18-19, DONALD JOHN TRUMP, IMPEACHED. ONLY THE 3RD AMERICAN PRESIDENT IMPEACHED IN U.S. HISTORY.

US President Donald Trump was impeached on Wednesday by the Democratic-led House of Representatives for obstruction of Congress and abuse of power related to his dealings with Ukraine.

Wednesday's historic votes on impeachment comes after a two-month inquiry by House Democrats, who accuse the president of pressuring Ukraine to open an investigation into the president's political rival and former vice president, Joe Biden, who is also a frontrunner in the 2020 Democratic presidential race. They also charge that the president obstructed their investigation by refusing to comply with subpoenas and directing members of his administration to do the same.

Trump will became the third president in United States history to be impeached.

Wednesday's votes set the stage for a trial in the Republican-led Senate in January. No president has ever been removed from office via the impeachment process set out in the Constitution, and Republican senators have given little indication of changing that.

As the House prepares for the landmark impeachment vote, here are all the latest updates as of Wednesday, December 18:

Trump is impeached

Trump is impeached with 222 votes in favour and 170 against the first article of impeachment. Thirty-four representatives did not vote.

The senate will likely not impeach him. Republicans are the majority therein and they have implied that they will be loyal to 45.

god is with trump

Typical Nigerian!

No wonder politicians dey chop una like Toto...mtchew

If Trump's innocent, why'd he fire investigators, try to fire Mueller, hide his taxes, obstruct justice, allow the GOP to block the Mueller report, defend our enemies, tell so many lies, and push Ukraine to violate the laws to benefit himself?

Why is he blocking the procedure from all angles? I like Trump and am not pro-democrat or pro-republican but the Constitution must be protected at all cost.

Majority of US citizens even want him out, the Reps knows he's guilty but party loyalty won't allow them

Vladimir Putin right now

We all saw it coming. Not a surprise.

Democrats are presenting facts, Republicans are screaming witch hunt and unfairness will zero facts. Telling us how Pilate gave Jesus more rights than what the Dems are giving Trump and how Impeaching him will destroy families
