impeachment

Prominent Republicans continued to criticize the idea of trying an out-of-office president, while some Democrats worried about hampering President Biden's agenda.

The House of Representatives, which voted to impeach Trump last week, plans to transmit the article of impeachment on Monday evening.

The Senate returns for the first time since the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Five committees will question nominees to lead Defense, State, Homeland Security, Treasury and the top Intelligence post.

The vice president-elect joins NPR to discuss the attack on the U.S. Capitol, the looming impeachment trial in the Senate and the massive rescue plan the president-elect just unveiled.

President Trump made history, the siege on the Capitol exposed splits in the GOP party that are likely to remain, Biden's agenda will now compete with a Senate trial and the Capitol is a fortress.

Ten Republican House members joined with all Democrats to impeach the president for a second time.

The article of impeachment accuses President Trump of "incitement of insurrection" for his comments and actions leading up to last week's riot at the Capitol. Watch the proceedings live at 9 a.m. ET.

Democrats and some Republicans have called for President Trump's removal from office over his role in inciting a violent mob that breached the U.S. Capitol last week.

The article references President Trump's repeated false claims of widespread voter fraud as well as specific comments during a rally ahead of the riot. Read the full text of the resolution.

With nine days left in the Trump presidency, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats are forging ahead with plans to remove Trump from office.

The two options for removing a president are the 25th Amendment and impeachment. With the 25th unlikely to be invoked, Democrats appear to be moving toward another Trump impeachment.

"This president should not hold office one day longer," he said, adding that Congress could act quickly under existing constitutional processes.
