As Donald Trump got impeached, who is currently the President of US?

US President Donald Trump became third president in nation’s history to get impeached which led to rumours that Trump does t hold top post anymore. But fact is, Trump remains president of United States as Senate is still to vote in favour of his removal.

high-profile controversy started when Democrats accused Trump of pressurising Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Joe Biden, a Democrat and Trump’s potential challenger for 2020 presidential elections. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi anunced launch of impeachment inquiry against Trump which led to hearings and depositions of witnesses.

House Judiciary Committee oversaw impeachment process and received all findings of House-wise investigation. After investigation, House Judiciary Committee approved two charges against President Trump and referred to full house for voting. He was impeached by Democrats-controlled House of Representatives on two separate charges of abuse of power and obstruction to Congress.

House voted in favour of first impeachment article, alleging misuse of power, 230 to 197. second article, accusing Trump of obstructing Congress, was voted by house in favour 299 to 198. Since majority of members of House of Representatives voted in favour of impeachment, Trump stands impeached but proceedings will w move to Senate.

Trial in Senate

Senate, controlled by Republicans, will w hold a trial under supervision of Chief Justice of Supreme Court. In trial, Senate will serve as jury and at least two-thirds of Senate have to vote in favour of removal. In history of United States, only two presidents, Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998, have been impeached so far but both got acquitted in Senate. In 1974, n President Richard Nixon h faced impeachment proceedings but resigned from office before any voting could take place.
