Mark Wilson | Getty ImagesThe historic vote capped a three-month inquiry by House Democrats into Trump's dealings with Ukraine. But the impeachment process is far from over: The proceedings now move to a trial in the Senate, which holds the final authority on whether to convict Trump and remove him from office, or to acquit him.
House managers have historically been members of Congress, who assume the role of prosecutors in the Senate trial. For instance, 13 Republicans from the House Judiciary Committee acted as the managers in then-President Bill Clinton's Senate trial, presenting their case for his removal over three days.

But unlike a jury in a criminal trial, the senators aren't selected and screened through anSome senators have already made their views of the Democrats' impeachment efforts abundantly clear.
Term limits would fix this issue!!!!!
Completely agree.
Republican nonsense
Someone tell this dude the market is RALLYING on impeachment and up over 25% to record highs since Pelosi took the gavel
Or unless Sen Cramer can steer more “contracts” to his friends to ensure his re-election. This is just a ploy for his “donors”...
We have our confidence restored kevincramer with the House impeachment. Hoping the Senate will follow through and remove Mr. Trump from office. Even VP Pence is better than Trump.
HEY GUESS WHAT IF THE NEXT PRESIDENT BRIBES FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS FOR CAMPAIGN DIRT I'M FINE WITH IMPEACHING HIM OR HER TOO. THIS IS NOT A LOGICAL FUCKING ARGUMENT.
Sen. Kramer is either really dumb or gaslighting the public. Impeachment has nothing to do w confidence in Congress. It's about violating the Constitution.
It’s the presidency where confidence needs to be restored. Congress will do what it must do under all circumstances
Democrats have renewed their party of hate, they started the KKK and endorsed Antifa....
Democrats have created a toxic work environment in Washington. Voters are tired of your impeachment sham, your wasted time. Go to work for America. End obstruct, resist, impeach. Are you unable to understand Trump's economic successes? Be part of it! Join him as partner!
To Mitch McConnell I would add that ..This particular REPUBLICAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATE has let its partisan PANDERING at this particular president ( in the face of unlawful activity) create a toxic new precedent that will echo well into the future.
The Voters in Kentucky who keep voting for Mitch McConnell should hang their heads in Shame, for subjecting the American People to this Self Centered Traitor! McConnell has done Nothing for KY and is helping his Russian Friends Destroy our Country! Throw Him Out in 2020!
No Mitch. It’s not partisan rage that has caused many Republicans of conscience to leave the GOP. They recognize that it’s turned in to a cult of personality whose sole purpose is to enable the incompetent immoral con man Trump. He was impeached for violating the constitution.
Ignoring the underlying facts is called “being a mouthpiece.”
“The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” - Sen. McConnell 2010
And what ELSE did Overlord Trump tell you to say?
Merrick Garland.
McConnell is right on in this regard
Gas bag
Well there is a remedy for what you say, prove that the Democrats are wrong with those witnesses who Trump refused to allow and the documents he withheld? The only reason not to do it is the Democrats would be proved right.
He can call it anything he wants doesn't mean it didn't happen
What the heck does that man know? He’s a failure
Because it couldn’t possibly just be due to the fact our President is a liability to our national security...so it must be some cosmic contagion 🤦🏼♂️
Guys, no one even listens to this weasel anymore. He is so fcked and knows it. I am curious to see how he puts up with Donnie on his ass for the next two weeks
A pox on both their houses... buybitcoin BTC bitcoin
It’s indeed a partisan , The Speaker of the house Nancy is looking for a reason to impeach you , there is no doubt .
Our congress is an embarrassment
It wasn’t we dude it’s you and your name only in the history books
Wait.... It's coming.....
Doesn’t matter what it feels like to you, realDonaldTrump because you can’t lie your way out of this one. The history books will write about it and hang it around your neck forever. IMPOTUS
I call it government worker foreplay...
Funny, you could describe trump's politics the same way
President should always be written with a Capital P Respect Regardless of your beliefs
I love the cognitive dissonance. senatemajldr refused to even consider Obama's SCOTUS nominees because MoscowMitch is a partisan hack, yet he still tries to claim the political high ground. Gross.
Nancy knows she just assured a Trump landslide in 2020.
Fake news , you love the democrats, and we all know it.
If those echoes sure that crooked presidents will be impeached then yay for the Democrats
Impeach moscow Mitch too! Lock these self serving bums up!
What happens next? ImpeachingHearing
But Trump is the first President to be politically impeached. The President was never accused of committing a crime. Dems are still upset he beat Hillary.
What happens next is that the Senate will TRUMP the House and Trump will remain in office for the next five years.
Here's what happens next: Voters turn in ever-greater numbers against the corrupt, criminal, incompetent, D3mocrat party.
He gets reelected in an even bigger landslide and democrats cry some more?
And from this day forward anytime the opposite party controls the HouseOfRepresentatives the president will be Impeached. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
IDIOTS !!!!
There were 228 votes in the House to impeach Bill Clinton. There were 230 votes in the House to impeach realDonaldTrump marking the first time ever that Trump got more votes than a Clinton! Also Drumpf earned this - 1st achievement that wasn’t totally given to him.
Lots of room on that trophy for “John”.
Yes 👍👍👍
Самый глупый фейс года.
TabithaStevens8 he gets re-elected
Trump 🚂 was Railroaded Going to be the 1st President re-elected after being impeached 😂 TermLimitsforCongress needed
LMAO. What happens next is nothing. It's over. Perhaps now -- yes I am dreaming -- naive and/or stupid Democrats will start to concentrate on electing someone other than Trump, because NOW he is more powerful than ever.
He remains president. Senate throws the garbage articles in the waste bin of history. Trump wins in 2020. Democrats cry more. America stays awesome.
It moves to the Senate which is where the ComplicitCorruptGOP declare our Republic dead. The 1% shows they are in power as they control the simple minded.
This arrogant gentleman felt powerful, attacking everyone, now he's like the dog with his tail between his legs
Impeachment was clearly partisan on the Democratic side and will not hold up in the Senate. So big failure again Dems! Now we see an even bigger realDonaldTrump MAGA2020 win! Wait until you see the big turnout for another Trump win!🇺🇸🤙
We all know Mike Pence played a role in this also he should be impeached
Rigg3rd The answer is in your 5th grade social studies book.
MarkTepperSWP The Senate is yet to vote!!
Lol nothing
What happens next is democrats lick trumps balls for next 9 years
Congress just made themselves completely irrelevant. Maybe it's time to disband the entire house and move to States Constitution.
His ratings go through the roof, that’s what.
🤔
Ho hum.....impeached by one house. That and a $1.25 gets you a cup of coffee......
This is what happens next 1 Week Senate and Acquittal Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Dismissed by the Senate in January. Thrown out of office by the voters in November.
Where is Trump? In Peach...ed
We all know what is going to happen. This will get squashed in the Senate and Trump will win re-election in 2020.
Hopefully tar and feathering!!! Maybe the walk of shame!!! He can keep his toupee on!
Whining...tweeting, whining while tweeting..rinse and repeat
What a waste of time! As a independent I voted for democrats and republicans but next election my vote will be not for democrats for drama and waste of time.
Bravo! Cue the whining as the tweet machine ramps up. manchild
He will be acquitted in the Senate and the circus will be over and the Democraps have still not be able to get to Trump what fools
For the next 100 years the dems will hear about it in every debate with the superior republicans
It moves on to the Senate, gets squashed and we all go about our day.
Let’s be real, means absolutely nothing.
Waste of time.
Mike Pence will not be president.
Really - this has to be fake news right?
Narrator: Nothing. Wins 2020 and Dems lose seats
He win re-election in a LANDSLIDE
