Democrats unveil articles of impeachment against Trump The Hill, Dec 10, 2019
House Democrats on Tuesday said they would bring two articles of impeachment against President Trump, setting up just the third vote to impeach a U.S. president in history.
"Today, in the service to our duty to the Constitution and to our country, the House Judiciary Committee is introducing two articles of impeachment, charging the President of the United States of committing high crimes and misdemeanors," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said before introducing the first article.
The charges brought by Democrats are that Trump abused the power of his office and that he obstructed Congress in the impeachment inquiry. "It is an impeachable offense for a president to use the powers of his office to seek a personal benefit," Nadler sad, pointing to Trump's actions in Ukraine.
Both of the charges are related to the unfolding controversy surrounding Trump's efforts to pressure Ukraine's government to conduct an investigation of one of Trump's political rivals — former Vice President Joe Biden.

As Dershowitz clearly explained on Mark's show Sunday evening, impeachment by the House on these bogus charges is unconstitutional .... any member voting to impeach on these charges is committing an unconstitutional act..... Unconstitutional acts by Congress are Void.
I watched it on Fox Business so all I saw was Schitt moving his mouth. What a travesty. I don't know how those vacuous evil blobs of protoplasm have the nerve.
I saw Dershowitz on Levin as well and was very interested in the concept of voiding this impeachment, if anyone has the intestinal fortitude to try to do so it is Trump. Watching War Room with Steve Bannon.
