With 24 Democrats and 17 Republicans, the panel is expected to approve both articles of impeachment
House Judiciary Committee to start voting on articles of impeachment against President Trump - live updatesWASHINGTON – The House Judiciary Committee reconvenes Thursday at 9 a.m. to decide whether articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump should be forwarded to the full chamber for a vote as early as next week.
The full House would then vote as early as next week on whether to impeach Trump. If approved, the Senate would hold a trial in early 2020, to decide whether to remove the president from office. If two-thirds of the Senate, or 67 senators, vote to convict, Trump would be removed and Vice President Mike Pence would become commander in chief.
The Abuse of Power charge stems from Trump's decision to withhold roughly $400 million of congressionally approved military aid from Ukraine until the country announced an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a political rival. A meeting with Trump at the White House that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wanted was also dangled as a reward for the public probe.
