WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is officially the third president to ever get impeached by the House of Representatives. The House charged the president with the Abuse of Power and the Obstruction of Congress. 

After the vote, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, didn’t say when or whether she would send the two articles of impeachment to the Senate.

The House debated at least six hours Wednesday with no Republicans voting for impeachment and just three or fewer Democrats voting against each article of impeachment. The vote was divided largely along party lines.

Republican Tom McClintock, R-Roseville, took part in the pushback on impeachment on the Judiciary Committee and voted against the measure. 

“This process is a direct affront to our constitution,” said McClintock. “It would make the president a servant of the Congress. And forever make it impossible to go to court and defend our constitutional rights. Those are the two articles of impeachment and they ought to scare the hell out of every American.”

Democrats from California, like Rep. Nanette Barragan D-Los Angeles, said they were saddened but not shocked by impeachment. 

“If you look at the facts, if you look at the testimony, if you look at the president’s own words, he himself admitted to asking a foreign government to interfere in our elections and so I don’t know how you reach a different result,” said Barragan. 

The President has repeatedly maintained that he hasn’t done anything wrong.
