Trump makes history as third American president to be impeached

President Donald Trump was impeached for abuse of power in a historic vote in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, setting up a Senate trial on removing him from office after three turbulent years.

“What is at risk here is the very idea of America,” said Adam Schiff, the lawmaker who led the impeachment inquiry, ahead of the vote. After a marathon 10-hour debate, lawmakers also voted 229-198 to approve the second article of impeachment facing Trump — for obstructing the congressional probe into his Ukraine dealings.

“The Democrats are declaring their deep hatred and disdain for the American voter,” Trump said to boos and cheers.“They’ve been trying to impeach me from day one. They’ve been trying to impeach me from before I ran,” he said.Despite testimony from 17 officials that Trump leveraged his office for political gain, the president maintained his innocence throughout the impeachment inquiry — denouncing it as an “attempted coup” and an “assault on America.

That's one way to leave a mark on the sands of time... 🧐

Clinton was also impeached, but couldn't be removed. The same will happen in the Republican-controlled senate. The Republicans will definitely vote against the removal.

He is going nowhere

For Naija, we no dey impeach president, na president dey impeach anybody.

deadly history

Good to hear

Trump is going no where. Trump is will be one of the best presidents of the world. People do not like people who are blunt. We need somebody like trump to rule Nigeria.

Who will be d last?

Trump thinks say nah Nigeria him Dey

Enu lo koba

Useless toilet paper called punch!!

Not yet

Nothing truly last longer in life except the grace of God

Very good

Just the lower house..lets wait for the Senate where he has majority republicans..

So when will our own trump be impeach?

Trump cannot be removed. The Republicans are going to vote in his favour, and when that happens Trump still remains their president. Before he could be removed there must be harmony btw the Lower and Upper Legislative Chamber. So, Trump goes no where.

I saw this shit coming

And we've never impeached one of ours... Are we serious?

We can't compare Nigeria to America because ours is a banana republic.

Can this ever happen in Nigeria. This is what true democracy entails.

realDonaldTrump be strong and very courageous for the Lord is with you, fear not!! You will surely overcome them

Only one American president will be eventually impeached come January. No history yet

Is this possible in Africa

If only a country like that will actually impeach their president over abuse of power and gross incompetence. Media in that country just like the US is part of the conspiracy against its people. Media do your job. You are failing the people

A country that works!

Impeached...but will not be removed and will be reelected by God's grace...so what's the point? 🙄🤔

Impeached......, so will his case be reconsidered?

Democracy is really working among the white, A tyrant needs to be deal with.

Working country

Make history negatively.

Holly mathematical calculator, Trump is fucked

Nigeria government will always quote u. S government laws but will never learn the good one from them, in a working government that man in Ask Rock can't last a year as a democratic president

What history on what is yet to be ascertained? Nigeria press !

why is this news in Nigeria ? borders are open, crime rates are high, and so much more in ng that’s te yet to be mentioned and y’all report this? bruh

Why una like bad news for this country self. The process is not complete yet na. And mostly never will.

Hooo really bad

It's not a history

The whole saw it coming even when he was elected as the president of the US

When I see Nigerian wanting Trump impeached what I see is a hypocrite

He is going no where. If Americans succeed in removing him from office, they have reset their time. They my likely be on the fall. They should stop wasting their time and resources.

Negative

Not yet🙄

See this Trump hmm... u don't have area boys.. DSS..police that will shoot voters from the air..u don't have military that helps election rigging..when in a country DSS will enter Court room with sitting judge and fight wrestling with guns everything..poor Trump..

America is a country that you hold a public office to serve your country not like in Nigeria that people in Government are there to Abuse power and loot all the money that meant for Nigerians alive and the unborn yet Nigerians... Thunder will strike people in the Senate house al

Trump remains the President of America, the Democrat waisted their time!

In Nigeria is only God that can impeach Buhari, bcos are legislators are ghost workers. So we will keep praying 🙏

I wish it happened in Nigeria

Always making history for nonsense. While the impeachment process isn't concluded yet

When will history be made in Nigeria too..we are facing problems greater than America's problem... They are facing problem for minor issues while we are still facing problem to become a develop country 😞😞

We copy the United States in our system of government & the Nigerian president has done worse than Trump but the guguru & groundnut NigeriaSenate will keep worshipping him even as our little democracy is been used to wipe his ass every time he messes up.

realDonaldTrump again, you will shame the democrats. The removal will fail. We your supporters in diaspora and within are praying for you. Stay calm my President. You are winning the war!

We need an impeachment also in my country

Quackery!
