The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate narrowly acquitted POTUS in his historic impeachment trial. There were two charges brought against the Republican president that forced senators to vote on whether to remove him from office.
The Republicans narrowly voted to acquit him for his request that Ukraine investigates political rival Joe Biden, a contender for the Democratic nomination. One member of the GOP Senator Mitt Romney joined the Democrats by voting for conviction. No Democrats voted for acquittal.
A two-thirds majority in the 100-seat Senate was needed to remove Trump under the rules of the U.S. Constitution. There are currently 53 Republican Senators.
Former #GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, now a US Senator from Utah became the first in history to vote to remove a president from his own party after he brought a real twist and an ethical shout to the end of Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
