Article I: Abuse of Power Vote expected later Total Dem.

The House of Representatives approved two articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday evening, charging Mr. Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

With the outcome largely predetermined, Mr. Trump has become the third president in the nation’s history to be impeached.

Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were both impeached by the House but later acquitted by the Senate.

President Richard M. Nixon resigned before the full House could vote to impeach him.

Mr. Van Drew recently said that he plans to switch parties and become a Republican.

Votes are based on what’s shown in the House chamber, and are not final. »

The Carl Victor Page Memorial Foundation needs to make big donations to DAFs because it doesn’t give much to traditional charity.

99.5 percent of the money donated that year by the Carl Victor Page Memorial Foundation would go to DAFs, not charities.
