Pelosi signs article of impeachment
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening, a ceremonial step that precedes the article being sent to the Senate. The engrossment ceremony to make the article official occurred shortly after it passed the House, with 10 Republican members of Congress joining the Democrats to impeach the president on a count of willful incitement of insurrection. “Today, in a bipartisan way, the House demonstrated that no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States,” Pelosi said before signing the document. “That Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our country and that once again we honor that oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help us God.” Trump’s impeachment by the House marked the first time that a president has been impeached twice in U.S. history. The article of impeachment will now head to the Senate, although a trial is not expected to begin until after next Wednesday's inauguration. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement earlier Wednesday that "there is simply no chance that a fair or serious trial could conclude before President-elect Biden is sworn in next week." "In light of this reality,” he said, “I believe it will best serve our nation if Congress and the executive branch spend the next seven days completely focused on facilitating a safe inauguration and an orderly transfer of power to the incoming Biden Administration."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed an article of impeachment
against President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening, a ceremonial
step that precedes the article being sent to the Senate.
The engrossment ceremony to make the article official occurred
shortly after it passed the House, with 10 Republican members of
Congress joining the Democrats to impeach the president on a count
of willful incitement of insurrection.
“Today, in a bipartisan way, the House demonstrated that no
one is above the law, not even the president of the United
States,” Pelosi said before signing the document. “That Donald
Trump is a clear and present danger to our country and that once
again we honor that oath of office to protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States, so help us God.”
Trump’s impeachment by the House marked the first time that a
president has been impeached twice in U.S. history.
The article of impeachment will now head to the Senate, although
a trial is not expected to begin until after next Wednesday's
inauguration. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a
statement earlier Wednesday that "there is simply no chance that a
fair or serious trial could conclude before President-elect Biden
is sworn in next week."
"In light of this reality,” he said, “I believe it will best
serve our nation if Congress and the executive branch spend the
next seven days completely focused on facilitating a safe
inauguration and an orderly transfer of power to the incoming Biden
Administration."
