Trump becomes first president to be impeached twice as House charges him with inciting an insurrection

The final vote was 232 in favor of impeachment and 197 against. Ten Republican lawmakersand sided with their Democratic colleagues, making Wednesday's the most bipartisan impeachment vote in US history. Trump is now the first president to be impeached twice.

Pence has no such power and his role overseeing the counting of electoral votes is largely ceremonial. Still, in the weeks before Congress met, Trump publicly and privately urged Pence to step in and block the process. Capitol Police interrupted Congress' proceedings and frantically evacuated Pence and senior lawmakers as Trump supporters swarmed in, ransacked offices, and stole property, including records that the Justice Department said may have contained "national security equities."

For a more perfect union.

This is what happens when a brazen psychopath is elected to our highest office.
