United States House Democrats and ten House Republicans voted to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time during his presidency with a vote of 232-197. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made it clear that there would be no Senate trial before Inauguration Day.
List of Republican’s who voted to impeach:
Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington
John Katko of New York
Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington
Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
Fred Upton of Michigan
Liz Cheney of Wyoming
Peter Meijer of Michigan
Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
Tom Rice of South Carolina
David Valadao of California
With a Senate trial not taking place before Inauguration Day, it is believed to be unconstitutional to put President Trump on trial. The Constitution clearly states that even if the United States House approves impeachment articles, the Senate can not convict the President after he has left office. Therefore, under the United States Constitution, President Donald Trump would be eligible to seek re-election in 2024.
