The move makes Donald Trump the first US president to be impeached twice. Ten rebel Republicans voted with Democrats after a day of debate in the House of Representatives. He now faces a trial in the Senate, which will take place after he leaves office. He was accused of rousing his followers to storm the Capitol last week, leaving five dead, in a sometimes stormy day of debate. Some Republicans argued impeachment would further divide the nation Top Democrat Nancy Pelosi had said "He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation" (Picture credit: Reuters)
