The President Impeached, But We Wait to Hear What the Senate Decides

After a long day of voting, Wednesday night, the news came in. President Donald Trump became the third President to be impeached. He is the first to be impeached while running for reelection. The President was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of congress. Although he has been impeached, it's up to the Senate to push him out of the White House or keep him there. According to CNN, House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi said Democrats will make the decision "as a group" on when to send the articles to the Senate. So now, the vote shifts the impeachment proceedings to the Senate, where a trial is expected in January. CNN reports "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Republican senators at a policy lunch Tuesday that he will announce by the end of the week the date for the start of the Senate trial, according to sources. The Senate will decide whether to convict Trump and remove him from office."
