United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told congressional leaders Thursday to draft articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, saying the president's abuse of power"leaves us no choice but to act."
"Sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our founders and a heart full of love for America, today I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment," Ms Pelosi said in a short, somber televised statement.Donald Trump 'committed impeachable crimes', constitutional experts tell Congress
"If we allow a president to be above the law, we do so surely at the peril of our republic," added the speaker, Mr Trump's chief nemesis in Congress. "The good thing is that the Republicans have NEVER been more united," Mr Trump tweeted."We will win!" The Do Nothing Democrats had a historically bad day yesterday in the House.

Therefore I say, if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair....Mr Trump's re-election campaign weighed in too, saying the Democrats have long pushed impeachment as a way to negate the results of the 2016 election.
