周三，唐纳德·特朗普总统成为美国历史上第三位被众议院弹劾的总统，前总统安德鲁·约翰逊和比尔·克林顿也榜上有名。
但是特朗普也以反对他的票数创造了历史，这两篇弹劾文章获得了美国总统弹劾史上最大和第二大支持。
众议院以230票对197票，一票“在场”，通过了第一篇文章——指控特朗普滥用权力。第二篇文章——指控总统阻挠国会——以229票对198票获得通过。
投票按照政党路线进行，没有共和党代表和民主党同事一起谴责特朗普。只有两名民主党人——新泽西州的杰夫·范·德鲁和明尼苏达州的科林·彼得森——投票反对这些文章。民主党众议员贾里德·戈尔登投票赞成滥用权力，但反对阻挠。民主党众议员图西·加巴德对两者都投了赞成票。
众议院投票弹劾唐纳德·特朗普总统。
两次投票都超过了1998年针对克林顿和1868年针对约翰逊的弹劾条款，尽管众议院在针对约翰逊的努力中规模要小得多。
众议院批准了两篇文章对克林顿不利。对于伪证指控，228名代表投票反对总统，206人支持他。第二项指控是妨碍司法公正，这一指控得到了221名议员的支持，212名议员反对。
在约翰逊的案例中，众议院投票赞成弹劾总统以126票对47票，17名成员没有投票。
他面临11项弹劾条款，包括指控他试图“给国会和总统带来耻辱、嘲笑、仇恨、蔑视和指责”。参议院最终对其中三篇文章进行了投票。
尽管对特朗普的投票总数最多，但对约翰逊的弹劾仍是众议院投票人数最多的一次。
略高于66%的代表投票反对约翰逊，相比之下，52%的代表投票反对特朗普。
周三众议院投票后，议长南希·佩洛西指出这是一个“悲伤”的时刻，民主党代表沉默下来，开始为选举结果鼓掌。“他让我们别无选择，”佩洛西说，并补充说特朗普的行动必须采取这样的措施是“悲剧性的”。
投票是在特朗普在密歇根州的一次改选集会上发言时进行的，这促使总统对他的对手进行了广泛的、有时是漫无边际的指责。
特朗普说“无所事事的民主党人”宣称他们对美国选民深恶痛绝他声称弹劾程序是“民主党的政治自杀游行”，并补充道，“我不知道你的情况，但我玩得很开心...我不担心。”
约翰逊和克林顿在参议院的审判中都被判无罪。特朗普和多数党领袖的结果预计是一样的米奇·麦康奈尔已经承认他不会成为“公正的陪审员”
佩洛西周三拒绝承诺将弹劾条款提交参议院，这引起了人们对随后审判是否合法的担忧。“到目前为止，我们还没有看到任何对我们来说公平的事情，”根据Politico的说法，她在投票后立即告诉记者。
麦康奈尔和少数党领袖查克·舒默目前正在就特朗普的审判方式争论不休，民主党人热衷于带来更多证人，而共和党人则寻求确保迅速宣判无罪。
TRUMP IMPEACHMENT TAKES RECORD FOR LARGEST NUMBER OF HOUSE VOTES IN AMERICAN HISTORY
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump became only the third president in U.S. history to be impeached by the House of Representatives, joining former presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton on the ignominious list.
But Trump also made history with the number of votes cast against him, with the two impeachment articles receiving both the largest and second largest backing in the history of American presidential impeachments.
The House voted to approve the first article—charging Trump with abuse of power—by 230 votes to 197, with one "present" vote. The second article—charging the president with obstruction of Congress—was approved by 229 votes to 198.
The voting went along party lines, with no Republican representatives joining their Democratic colleagues in censuring Trump. Only two Democrats—New Jersey's Jeff Van Drew and Minnesota's Collin Peterson—voted against the articles. Democratic Rep. Jared Golden voted yes to abuse of power but no to obstruction. Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard voted present on both.
The graphic below, provided by Statista, illustrates the House vote on Trump's impeachment.
House of Representatives vote on President Donald Trump impeachment.
Both votes were larger than for the impeachment articles brought against Clinton in 1998 and Johnson in 1868, though the House of Representatives was much smaller during the effort against Johnson.
The House approved two articles brought against Clinton. For the perjury charge, 228 representatives voted against the president, with 206 backing him. The second charge was obstruction of justice, which was approved by 221 lawmakers and opposed by 212.
In Johnson's case, the House voted to impeach the president for high crimes and misdemeanors by a 126 to 47 vote, with 17 members not voting.
He faced eleven articles of impeachment, including allegations that he was attempting "to bring into disgrace, ridicule, hatred, contempt and reproach" both Congress and the presidency. The Senate eventually voted on three of the articles.
Though the vote against Trump is the largest by total number, Johnson's impeachment remains the largest by the proportion of the House which voted for it.
Just over 66 percent of representatives voted against Johnson, compared to 52 percent for the articles against Trump.
Following Wednesday's House vote, Speaker Nancy Pelosi noted it was a "sad" occasion and silenced Democratic representatives who began applauding the result. "He gave us no choice," Pelosi said, adding it was "tragic" that Trump's actions necessitated such measures.
The vote took place while Trump was speaking at a re-election rally in Michigan, prompting the president to deliver a wide-ranging and at times rambling rebuke of his opponents.
Trump said the "do-nothing Democrats" were "declaring their deep hatred and disdain for the American voter." The impeachment process, he claimed, was a "political suicide march for the Democratic Party," adding, "I don't know about you, but I'm having a good time...I'm not worried."
Both Johnson and Clinton were acquitted in their Senate trials. The outcome for Trump is expected to be the same, and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already admitted he will not be "an impartial juror."
Pelosi refused Wednesday to commit to sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate, raising concerns that the subsequent trial will be legitimate. "So far we haven't seen anything that looks fair to us," she told reporters immediately after the vote, according to Politico.
McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are currently wrangling over the format of Trump's trial, with Democrats keen to bring additional witnesses but Republicans seeking to ensure a quick acquittal.
