The House of Representatives is moving forward with plans to impeach President Donald Trump a second time, charging him with inciting violence against the United States government by challenging the election results.
In a congressional document, Democrats in the House of Representatives accused Trump of engaging in high crimes and misdemeanors when he encouraged the "lawless action" that took place at the Capitol on January 6. To actually remove the president, though, Democrats still need to get enough members of their own party, as well as two-thirds of the Senate on board, which is a tall order.
Unlike in 2019 when Trump was first impeached, this time legislators are working against a ticking clock. They only have nine days to complete the process before President-elect Joe Biden takes office, and a number of legislators have pushed back against impeaching Trump, even if they disagreed with how he handled the rally and the subsequent violence at the Capitol.
