Donald Trump was impeached twice. This page covers the first impeachment. Click here for information on the second impeachment, which took place in 2021.

On February 5, 2020, President Donald Trump (R) was acquitted of abuse of power by a vote of 52-48 and obstruction of Congress by a vote of 53-47.[1]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) first announced the House would pursue an inquiry into Trump on September 24, 2019, following allegations that Trump requested the Ukrainian government investigate former Vice President Joe Biden (D) and his son, Hunter Biden, in exchange for aid.[2]

Trump denied the allegations and called the inquiry “the worst witch hunt in political history.”[3][4]

Following weeks of public hearings, the House voted to impeach Trump on December 18, 2019, charging him with abuse of power by a vote of 230-197 and obstruction of Congress by a vote of 229-198.[5] For a breakdown of the U.S. House votes by representative and party, click here.[6]

The trial began on January 16, 2020, after seven impeachment managers from the U.S. House of Representatives presented the two articles of impeachment to the U.S. Senate.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) was the only Republican to vote guilty on the abuse of power charge, becoming the first senator in U.S. history to vote to convict a president from his own party in an impeachment trial. The vote on obstruction of Congress ran along party lines.[1]

Overview of impeachment

See also: Impeachment of federal officials

The United States Congress has the constitutional authority to impeach and remove a federal official from office—including the president—if he or she has committed an impeachable offense. Impeaching and removing an official has two stages. First, articles of impeachment against the official must be passed by a majority vote of the U.S. House of Representatives. Then, a trial is conducted in the United States Senate potentially leading to the conviction and removal of the official.[7]

In most impeachment trials, the vice president presides over the trial. However, in impeachment trials of the president, the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court presides. In order to remove the person from office, two-thirds of senators that are present to vote must vote to convict on the articles of impeachment.[7]

Process for impeachment and conviction

The following two charts show the process for impeachment, which begins in the U.S. House with the introduction of an impeachment resolution and a committee inquiry conducted by the United States House Committee on the Judiciary. If the committee adopts articles of impeachment against the official, the articles will go to a full floor vote in the U.S. House.

When articles of impeachment are adopted by the U.S. House, the process moves to the U.S. Senate where senators will either acquit or convict the official following a trial.

Impeachment inquiry procedures

On October 29, 2019, Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.) introduced H. Res. 660, a House resolution outlining proposed impeachment inquiry procedures.

The resolution included specific instructions for the Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee. Key procedures outlined in the resolution included the following:

  • The Intelligence Committee would make public transcripts of private depositions available with redactions where necessary for classified and sensitive information.
  • The chairman and ranking minority member of the Intelligence Committee would have an equal amount of time to question witnesses.
  • The ranking minority member could request subpoenas and documents with the chairman’s approval.
  • The Judiciary Committee would be responsible for bringing forward articles of impeachment, if any.
  • Trump and his counsel would be able to participate in the Judiciary Committee proceedings.

On October 31, 2019, the House of Representatives approved the resolution by a vote of 232-196. The vote ran primarily along party lines. No Republicans supported the measure. Two Democrats opposed it: Reps. Jeff Van Drew (D-N.J.) and Collin Peterson (D-Minn.). Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.), the only independent in the chamber, supported the resolution.[1]

The full text of the resolution follows:

Articles of impeachment

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced two articles of impeachment against Trump on December 10, 2019.

Nadler summarized the articles in the following statement:[14]

The first article is for Abuse of Power. It is an impeachable offense for the President to exercise the powers of his public office to obtain an improper personal benefit, while ignoring or injuring the national interest.

That is exactly what President Trump did when he solicited and pressured Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 Presidential Election—thus damaging our national security, undermining the integrity of the next election, and violating his oath to the American people. These actions, moreover, were consistent with President Trump’s previous invitations of foreign interference in our 2016 Presidential election.

And when he was caught—when the House investigated and opened an impeachment inquiry—President Trump engaged in unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of the impeachment inquiry.

This gives rise to the second article of impeachment for Obstruction of Congress. Here, too, we see a familiar pattern in President Trump’s misconduct. A President who declares himself above accountability, above the American people, and above Congress’s power of impeachment—which is meant to protect against threats to our democratic institutions—is a President who sees himself as above the law.[15]

—Jerrold Nadler, December 10, 2019[14]

Which presidents have been impeached?

See also: Impeachment of federal officials

This section provides a brief history of the impeachment of presidents. Of the other three presidents who have had articles of impeachment against them adopted, two were acquitted by the U.S. Senate and one resigned before the full U.S. House vote took place.

Andrew Johnson

On February 24, 1868, President Andrew Johnson (Union) became the first sitting president to be impeached. Following Congress’ passage of the Tenure of Office Act forbidding the president from removing federal officials without the approval of Congress, Johnson fired Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and replaced him with Ulysses S. Grant. Johnson hoped to challenge the constitutionality of the Act.

The House charged him with violating the Act and passed an impeachment resolution 126-47. Johnson was acquitted by the Senate on May 16, 1868, by a vote of 35-19, one vote short of two-thirds. Seven Republican senators broke ranks with the party to prevent Johnson’s conviction.[20]

Richard Nixon

Three articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice, misuse of power, and contempt of Congress were approved by the House Judiciary Committee against President Richard Nixon (R) in July 1974. The charges followed Nixon’s involvement in covering up the attempted burglary and wiretapping of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at Watergate two years earlier.

Nixon resigned on August 8, 1974, before the articles of impeachment went to a full floor vote in the House.[21]

Bill Clinton

President William Jefferson Clinton (D) was impeached by the U.S. House on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice on December 19, 1998. The first article of impeachment for perjury passed the House by a vote of 228-206, while the second vote on obstruction of justice passed by 221-212. The charges stemmed from an affair Clinton had with White House staffer Monica Lewinski. House Republicans accused Clinton of lying and having others lie to hide the affair. Two other charges, perjury in regards to an affair with Paula Jones and abuse of power, were rejected by the House.[22]

With 708 days remaining in his second term as president, the Senate acquitted Clinton on both charges brought up by the House on February 12, 1999. The perjury charge failed by a vote of 45-55 while the obstruction of justice charge failed on a tied vote of 50-50.[23]
