Briefly.co.za reported on the impeachment trial's result and its ramifications should it pass from the House through to the Senate.
For the second time in two years, United States president, Donald Trump has been impeached by the US House of Representatives led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Trump who only has few days to the expiration of his tenure was impeached after he incited his followers to attack the capitol in an effort to stop the certification of Joe Biden's presidential election win.
The Democrats alongside some of their Republican colleagues voted to impeach the controversial president on allegation of "incitement of insurrection."
The resolution passed 232 to 197. With this, Trump has made history as the only American president impeached twice.
10 Republican party members voted to impeach him, however, it is unknown when the House will send the article of impeachment over to the Senate.
After the Senate receives the article, a trial will take place and if enough senators vote to convict him, Trump will be removed from office.
The senators can also vote to ban him from taking public office again. Meanwhile, the trial might not take place during Trump's administration as he is set to leave office in some days' time. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is expected to determine when the trial will take place.
