Donald Trump has been impeached for a second time, for inciting insurrection.

The House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump by 232 to 197.

The vote went largely along party lines – but ten Republican Congressmen broke ranks, voting to condemn the leader of their own party.

It makes Trump the first President ever to be impeached twice.

The articles of impeachment presented to the House today included just one charge: “incitement of insurrection.”

“The president of the United States incited this insurrection, this armed rebellion against our common country,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, said on the House floor.

“He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love.”

Democratic congressman Julian Castro, a former presidential candidate, called Trump “the most dangerous man to ever occupy the Oval Office.” Congresswoman Maxine Waters accused Trump of wanting civil war and fellow Democrat Jim McGovern said the president “instigated an attempted coup.”
