The House Judiciary Committee has approved two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump—abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—largely along party lines. This marks a historic moment, as it is one of the rare times a U.S. president faces impeachment proceedings at this level.
The situation is highly charged both inside and outside the Capitol, with lawmakers giving emotional speeches and public tensions rising. While Democrats strongly support impeachment, most Republicans have stayed unified in opposing it, allowing Trump’s allies to frame the process as politically motivated.
The next step is a full House vote, which is expected to pass. After that, the case will move to the Senate for trial, where a two-thirds majority would be required to remove Trump from office—something that remains unlikely but not impossible.
The broader concern highlighted is the potential constitutional crisis if a president refuses to accept removal, raising serious questions about the stability of democratic institutions.
