History

Historical Context

In October 1998 the Republican-controlled House authorized an impeachment inquiry into President Bill Clinton, and on December 19 adopted two articles with a 258-176 vote. On September 15 2026 the House rejected Rep. Al Green’s resolution to impeach former President Donald Trump, voting 232-147, while Rep. Hakeem Jeffries sided with Republicans. The two votes show impeachment’s evolution into a partisan lever that widens congressional splits.
