US House Moves to Impeach Trump, Again

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - The Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives
   moved Monday to impeach President Donald Trump in the waning days of
   his presidency, accusing him of "incitement of insurrection" in last
   week's storming of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters
   seeking to overturn his reelection defeat.

   Even though Trump's four-year term expires at noon January 20, the
   four-page impeachment resolution said Trump has "demonstrated that he
   will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the
   Constitution if allowed to remain office, and has acted in a manner
   grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law."

   The House, with a slim Democratic majority, could vote in next day or
   two on the impeachment resolution. A total of 218 Democrats have signed
   on to the impeachment resolution, insuring a majority in the 435-member
   House without any Republican votes against the outgoing Republican
   president.
