translated from Spanish: US House of Representatives Approves Taking Donald Trump to Trial

US President Donald Trump now has a new and unenviable place in history after becoming the third president of the United States to face an “impeachment.”
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives agreed to put the representative on a political trial for abuse of power.
If he confirms his guilt in that future process, the president will be dismissed, though the chances of that happening are slim.
The historic decision was made after an extensive debate that lasted more than 10 hours in which the arguments as well as the final vote were mostly aligned with the political affiliations of the legislators.
Only two previous presidents have been impeachmented in American history: Andrew Johnson, in 1868; and Bill Clinton, in 1998.
Both emerged victorious, although Johnson succeeded little, as there was little left for a vote to be convicted.
What is a speachment?
Impeachment is the impeachment that holds a position in the US Congress. U.S.A., with a view to a possible impeachment of the president.
The U.S. Constitution states that the president “must be removed from office upon being charged and convicted of treason, bribery, or other crimes or serious crimes.”
The process must be initiated by the House of Representatives and only needs a simple majority to be activated, this step is the one that lawmakers took on Wednesday.
The trial, however, takes place in the Senate and it takes two-thirds of the vote to dismiss the president.
This has never happened in American history.
