The Impeachment and Trial of Former President Donald J. Trump
The second impeachment of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States,
happened on January 13, 2021. This was precisely one week before his official term expired.
This was the second impeachment of President Donald Trump, and the fourth impeach t to be
done on any President in the United States (U.S. House of Representatives Managers, 2021).
President Donald Trump, therefore, became the first President in the United States to be
impeached twice. However, being impeached is different from been convicted or denied from
ever holding office again. The ball is now on the Senate to conduct a trial on former President
Donald Trump and determine if he qualifies for future office.

Donald Trump. This was the most bipartisan vote to be conducted on a presidential impeachment
in the United States history. The exercise fell ten votes short of the recommended two-thirds for

morally responsible for provoking the Capitol riot" (Biden et al., 2021). Biden, the new
President-elect who the Americans looked up to move the country forward, called upon the
people to unite after the verdict was given.
Mr. Burr had voted against carrying on the impeachment and later changed, making his
decision a surprise as he also accused President Trump of the capital riots. Mr. Cassidy had also

impeachment managers (Raskin et al., 2021). He argued that the constitution was more important
than any one person and that the President was guilty. Ms. Collins criticized Trump’s actions
extending to the riots. Ms. Murkowski criticizes Trump's actions before and during the Capitol
