There are 5 proven articles of impeachment, not 2

1. So why are we only hearing about 2 of these? n/t

2. Because they're not official and they're not articles of impeachment.

The headline is a little misleading. The tweet itemizes five items that the author of the tweet feels are impeachable offenses, so a better title would probably be "There are five proven impeachable offenses" and not "five proven articles of impeachment".

3. Because of the nature of the 2 articles:

Abuse of Power in intentionally vague.
Obstruction of Congress is intentionally specific.

Now that these are recorded by the House as Impeachable Offences, they're NON PARDONABLE.

Which means, that even if the Senate chooses to leave him in office, he can still be prosecuted for them once his term is up.

At least, this is my understanding. IANAL.

4. Impeachment does not limit the presidential pardon power as applied to criminal proceedings

What the Constitution prohibits is the use of the pardon power to prevent the subject of an impeachment proceeding from suffering the consequences of an impeachment conviction-- namely removal from office and, potentially, disqualification from holding any other office. But just as the Constitution provides that someone who is impeached can be subjected to separate criminal proceedings based on the same conduct as the impeachment proceeding, the pardon power can be applied to foreclose such criminal charges.

5. There isn't even one "proven" article of impeachment at this point

At least not in the sense that a trial has taken place and a verdict of guilty reached.
