The United States President Donald Trump has been impeached for a second time by a bi-partisan vote in the House of Representatives.
The lawmakers voted 232 against 197 in favor of Trump’s impeachment on Wednesday, with 10 Republicans in voting for impeachment.
The vote came after a debate on Trump’s role in last Wednesday’s mob attack on the U.S. capitol building.

The house had moved ahead on the impeachment after vice president Mike Pence declined to invoke the 25th amendment to remove Trump.
Recall that Trump was impeached by the House on December 19, 2019.
The House had accused him of abusing his powers and obstructing Congress.
Following the development, the Senate will now vote on the impeachment.
