The House voted yesterday on an impeachment resolution ([link removed]) charging President Trump with a single article:
"Incitement of insurrection."
In the end, only ten Republicans crossed party lines to vote YEA on impeaching the president for his role in inciting the riots at the Capitol which resulted in the deaths of at least five ([link removed]) people.
Here, we look at some key quotes from the proceedings, including: ([link removed])

** Or Should Dems Delay?
------------------------------------------------------------
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has appointed the impeachment managers who will serve as prosecutors but hasn’t yet indicated whether she will immediately send the article of impeachment to the Senate.
After the first impeachment of President Trump, Pelosi held back the articles of impeachment for nearly a month ([link removed]) in an unsuccessful effort to force the Senate to call witnesses during the trial.
After the Senate formally receives an article of impeachment, it is required to begin an impeachment trial at 1pm on the next day of regular session after the article is received and exhibited for senators ([link removed]) . Based on the Senate’s schedule for the next week ([link removed]) , the earliest an impeachment trial could begin is either an hour after the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on January 20th or the next day.
Over the weekend, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said that Democrats should consider waiting to send the impeachment article to the Senate to allow the trial to begin until after Biden’s first 100 days in office have concluded.
Do you support delaying Trump's impeachment trial until after Biden’s first 110 days? ([link removed])
