House Impeaches Trump on Abuse of Power & Obstruction

The House of Representatives impeaches Trump on two articles: abuse of power (230-197) and obstruction of Congress (229-198). No Republicans vote for impeachment; two Democrats vote against. Trump sends a fiery letter to Speaker Pelosi calling the proceedings 'an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power.' Speaker Pelosi holds the articles for nearly a month before transmitting to the Senate.
