Washington____The US President, Donald John Trump has been impeached by the House of Representatives for abuse of power, and obstruction of Justice.

The President is now at the mercy of the Senate whether it will ratify the impeachment votes of the lower house or stand it down.

The US Senate is dominated by members of the President's Republican's Party which gives him a little hope of escaping what he termed, an embarrassing impeachment.

If this scales through, Donald J. Trump would be the third American President to be removed from the US oval house, the White House.

President Donald Trump was impeached for abuse of power in a historic vote in the House of Representatives on Wednesday 18th December, 2019 setting up a Senate trial on removing him from office after three turbulent years.

By a 230 to 197 vote in the Democratic-majority House, the 45th US president becomes just the third occupant of the White House in American history to be impeached.

Democrats said they had “no choice” but to formally charge the Republican president, whose impeachment along stark party lines places an indelible stain on his record while driving a spike ever deeper into the US political divide.

“What is at risk here is the very idea of America,” said Adam Schiff, the lawmaker who headed the impeachment inquiry, ahead of the vote.
Trump will now stand trial in the Senate, where his Republicans hold a solid majority and are expected to exonerate him.
