WASHINGTON — After more than two years of jousting over President Donald Trump’s conduct, the ground suddenly shifted in Congress and a move toward impeachment broke free of constraints.
If a majority of the full House votes for impeachment, the matter goes to the Senate, which is responsible for holding a trial, overseen by the U.S. Supreme Court chief justice. It takes a two-thirds vote in the Senate to force a president from office — a daunting challenge for Democrats if the effort goes that far, given Republican control of that chamber.
Trump’s preelection payment to a porn actress to maintain her silence and apparent Trump Organization profiteering from his presidency also fueled impeachment sentiment from a segment of the party. But it took a whistleblower’s still-secret complaint about Trump’s dealings with Ukraine to change the landscape.
In terms of congressional process, not much changes, at least at first. The judiciary panel had already begun impeachment hearings and had asked other committees for input. And it’s not clear that Pelosi’s “expedited” timeline will move things along any more quickly. The committee chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York, has said he wants to make a decision on whether to recommend articles of impeachment by the end of the year.

Is this for real? In the Haitian community we heard the word impeached and we were scared. How do we defend our votes?
AP... always propaganda
Any Democrat who still supports this clown show needs to call the HURTLINE
Haha...the right won when Pelosi caved to the far left. Winning! Trump2020LandslideVictory
And the Democrats find a way to waste more time and money. You would think they should start doing the job they were elected to do. They will end up with egg on the face.
Next is trying to ignore the fact that there is no authorization for an inquiry. Please proceed.
SpeakerPelosi We The People are measuring your every step; and since 'no one is above the law' We The People expect that you will track back over the crimes of Hillary HillaryClinton RepMaxineWaters BarackObama EricHolder Comey JohnBrennan Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, McCabe
Who’s ur daddy.
And this is how it will end up looking like
AP=FAKE NEWS sad
Nothing! One big smoke screen pelosi puts out there to appease the bunch of screamers
Hahahahahahahahahahq
POTUS realDonaldTrump should go on the impeachment tour. Holding huge 2020 re-election rallies all over the country to show just how meaningless the HOR’s impeachment is.
And then when the public realizes, like the Russian collusion hoax, that there’s no there there, the Democrats and news media will try to create some other controversy.
What’s next is Americans are going to see the scam and attempted silent coup against realDonaldTrump and TheDemocrats are going to forever regret it.
Let me explain it a little better, butthurt liberals are crying because the orange man is bad. No one seems to care that the house is sitting on their asses and doing nothing for the American people whom they were elected to represent.
Old Nancy can't do shit without the house vote. Pathetic lying media
Any evidence going to be presented this time? They still can't explain the situation or any laws that may have been broken.
Democrats are going to lose 2020 and not just lose the Presidential election but many districts, cities, states, across America. That's what's next.
If a GOP controlled Congress couldn't impeach & remove from office democrat womanizer Clinton, how can a GOP controlled Senate convict & remove from office GOP Trump impeached by democratic House? Unless party means nothing as with Clinton? So likely? Not good for Trump?
is still pushing the “dossier” and obstruction. Don’t provide any facts, that might be misconstrued as journalism. What a fucking joke. If allegations are all it takes to convict, then I heard somewhere that SpeakerPelosi molests her grandkids. She should resign immediately!
You guys are gonna both-sides the hell out of it!
Good try! Did you read the transcripts!
🍸🍸🍸👠👠👠🍸🍸🍸
A joke . That pretty much explains it!
walkaway.....
Impeach with no facts as to what was said on phone call. Impeach on what someone heard form a second source not first hand. Is this Still America or some Kangaroo court?
The Dems have just handed over 2020 to Trump.The base will get stronger
Death cult dems will implode
This is awesome! It is the road back to Republican controlled Senate. Dems are a joke and are proving it.
They’ve been doing an “inquiry” since he was elected, and turned up nothing. Shit or get off the pot.
It's an exercise in futility that will only harden Trump's base while doing absolutely nothing to address the divide in the opposition between progressives and centrists. It amounts to ceding next year's election to him. Another DNC muckup.
It's a farce, not impeachment inquiry. Started without any material evidence of wrongdoing. Unprecedented and very dangerous to the republic.
Not one of you can explain what the president has done to warrant such a reaction. It's all insinuation. plays along like the Democratic foot soldiers they are, but regular people see right through this nonsense.
Nothing. Nothing comes next.
Because Democrats are out of ammo and certainly can't defeat him in an election? Guaranteed now!
oh ap, another once great news organization down the tubes.
Democrats are going to lose by a landslide because it's going to be revealed that the whistleblower was connected to a political opponent !!!! And it'll be ALL OVER for Dems. The nail in the coffin. Trump2020
