Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House of Representatives will file impeachment charges against US President Donald Trump for alleged abuse of power.

“Our democracy is what is at stake, the president leaves us no choice but to act,” the top elected Democrat said.

She spoke a day after the House Judiciary Committee began considering potential charges against the Republican president.

Mr Trump told Democrats to move quickly if they were going to impeach him.

He tweeted shortly before Mrs Pelosi’s remarks: “If you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our country can get back to business.”

The California congresswoman told Thursday morning’s news conference: “The facts are uncontested. The president abused his power for his own political benefit at the expense of our national security, by withholding military aid and a crucial Oval Office meeting in exchange for an announcement for an investigation into his political rival.”

She added: “Sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our founders and a heart full of love for America, today I am asking our chairmen to proceed with articles of impeachment.”

Democrats are keen to hold a vote on impeachment in the House of Representatives before the end of the year, with the prospect of a trial in the Senate perhaps as early as January 2020.

She added: “We look forward to a fair trial in the Senate.”

Mrs Pelosi’s statement came a day after she held a behind-closed-doors meeting on impeachment with her fellow Democrats and asked them: “Are you ready?”

The lawmakers responded with a rousing “Yes”.

If you believe he can be impeached, then you can believe anything.

Put your money on it and you will lose. He will definitely be impeached. You think the U.S is like Nigeria? Clinton was impeached for lesser offenses.

Trump is more tougher than Clinton, you think it's easier to impeach him? Trump will complete his tenure and nothing will happen.

Yea Democrats have no other option than to Impeach him. Failure to do that will create more damages on their 2020 campaign as the impeachment has already caused some.
But the Senate Majority Republicans and the Judiciary will kill it very fast.
Trump will finish and retain his position in 2020 as no Democrat candidate can stop him.
The only option left for Democrats is to at least drag the impeachment for a month and get court order restraining Pelosi, Schiff, Sanders and his son from appearing at the Senate during the Impeachment defense/testimony in the senate. Because over their the Republicans will grind them.

What made Clinton offense lesser?
Do you know a serving female Democrat Rep member lost his seat because of same crime committed by Clinton this year.
Sure he will be impeached but Senate and Judiciary won’t honor it.

he maybe impeached in the house but will not be removed courtesy of the senate. Go and do your research.
