Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, joined former presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton as the only presidents in US history to be impeached, when on December 18, 2019, two articles of impeachment were voted on by the full House of Representatives. The first count – Abuse of Power, was passed the House along mostly party lines 230-197, while the second count – Obstruction of Congress, also yielded another party line vote of 229-198. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii voted “present” on both counts.
