The House is expected to come to session and bring to the floor Article of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump, charging him with

  • Incitement of an Insurrection

Today's move to Impeachment follows an attempt by the House to persuade Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment by passing HRES 21 late last night. During the vote, VP Pence released a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi indicating that he would not agree to invoke the 25th, stating that "I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution."

It is likely that there will be several rounds of debate and procedural votes prior to the final vote on the Articles of Impeachment. HRES 24 provides for two hours of debate equally divided and controlled by the Chair and Ranking Members of the Committee on Judiciary. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer estimates that the final vote will happen at approximately 3pm ET

If the vote passes, as it is expected, President Trump will become the only President to have ever been impeached twice


The Session is expected to begin at 9:00 AM ET. You can watch live online on
