House of Representatives Debates on Second Impeachment of Pres. Donald Trump | LIVE | NowThis

TRUMP'S 2ND IMPEACHMENT BEGINS: At least five Republicans have said they will join Democrats in voting to impeach Pres. Trump for ‘incitement of insurrection,’ including Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the third-highest-ranking Republican in the House. The process begins with a debate and vote on the rules for proceeding, followed by the actual debate over whether to impeach, which is expected to be bitter and fierce. The actual vote on impeachment will follow the debate and is expected to pass, rendering Trump the first president in U.S. history ever to be impeached twice. What happens after that is up to the Senate, but could result in Trump being barred from ever holding federal office again.

The article of impeachment was drafted by Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), David Cicilline (D-RI), and Ted Lieu (D-CA). Lieu says he began drafting the article while sheltering from the attack on the Capitol by pro-Trump insurgents.

The debate comes as some Democratic lawmakers fear that Republicans have become a threat to their lives. Last week 139 GOP reps sided with the goals of the domestic terrorists who broke into the Capitol by voting to discard the results of a free and fair election. During the attack, many of these reps willingly endangered the lives of their colleagues by refusing to wear masks despite being crowded in a small space. Three Dem reps have since tested positive for COVID-19. Yesterday the House installed a metal detector at the door of the chamber, which Republicans described as an 'atrocity.' Several GOP reps physically pushed past Capitol Police and walked around the metal detector, refusing to be inspected, including Rep. Lauren Boebert who has bragged about carrying a gun to Capitol Hill. And last night former Navy helicopter pilot Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) alleged that prior to the attack on the Capitol she saw GOP colleagues leading groups on 'reconnaissance' tours of the building.
