House Speaker Pelosi said the impeachment charges announced against President Trump were about 'urgency' not speed
Democratic President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 for lying about a sexual relationship he had with a White House intern, but he was acquitted in the Senate. Republican President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 before he was impeached over his involvement in the Watergate scandal. Democratic President Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 but not convicted in the Senate.
The obstruction charge accuses the president of defying and impeding the House’s efforts to investigate the scandal, adding that Trump would remain a threat to the U.S. Constitution if he remained in office. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi leads Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler , House Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff and other Democratic committee chairs through statuary hall to a news conference to announce artiicles of impeachment against U.S. President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., December 10, 2019.
The two impeachment articles are bundled into a single resolution, which minimizes the risk of either of them failing on their own. During the Clinton impeachment, the House voted separately on four articles and two of them failed, including one on abuse of power. Representative Adam Schiff, the Democrat who spearheaded the investigation in the House Intelligence Committee, said Trump had given Democrats no choice.The White House has refused to participate in the impeachment inquiry so far, but is expected to mount a vigorous defense in the Senate. It is unclear whether Trump himself will testify, but he refused to sit for an interview during Mueller’s investigation.
