Happy Friday the 13th 😄
"Democrats said they did not want such a consequential vote to occur in the dark of night, when the American public was unlikely to be watching.”
On Friday morning, 40 members of the panel solemnly took their places on the wood-carved dais and voted without any further debate. After a week of accusations and recrimination, the vote took fewer than 10 minutes.
the House ratify two articles of impeachment against the 45th president. In back-to-back votes just after 10 a.m., they adopted each charge against Mr. Trump by a margin of 23 to 17 over howls of Republican protest.
Full U.S. House vote will likely occur next Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2019
