The House on Wednesday voted to impeach Trump on a charge of "inciting violence" against the U.S. government, making him the first president in U.S. history to have been impeached twice.

The final vote count was 232 in favor and 197 opposed. Ten Republicans joined all Democrats present in voting to impeach Trump.

The vote came seven days before Trump leaves office and one week after a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, resulting in five deaths and endangering the lives of the vice president and members of Congress. Trump now faces a Senate trial after his term ends, when the chamber could vote on barring him from future elective office if he is convicted.

The 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump are Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio), Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.), John Katko (N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Peter Meijer (Mich.), Dan Newhouse (Wash.), Tom Rice (S.C.), Fred Upton (Mich.) and David Valadao (Calif.).

Full headline: In bipartisan rebuke, House members vote to impeach Trump an unprecedented second time, on a charge of 'inciting violence'

ENGROSSED RESOLUTION (SIGNED)

Original article -

The House voted Wednesday to impeach President Trump an unprecedented second time, on a charge of "inciting violence" against the U.S. government. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) left open the possibility of voting to convict at a trial, which would occur after Trump leaves office next week.

During debate on the House floor, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Trump "bears responsibility" for last week's violent takeover of the Capitol but argued against impeachment so close to the end of his term. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called Trump "a clear and present danger" and said "he must go."
