CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-Washington, D.C.-Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are slated to vote on Wednesday on a single article of impeachment leveled against embattled outgoing President Donald Trump after drafting the text of the impeachment article on Tuesday, the second time that House Democrats have pursued impeachment proceedings against the president, a Republican real estate mogul and former television personality who upset Democrat Hillary Clinton to win the White House in 2016.

An effort by Congressional Democrats to convince Vice President Mike Pence to push for removal of the president from office under the 25th Amendment, which would require a majority vote from the president's Cabinet to materialize, failed. 

Trump, 74, is charged via the article of impeachment with "incitement of resurrection," after allegedly inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday that left four protesters and a Capitol police officer dead, and that temporarily halted efforts by Congress to officially certify Biden's electoral college win.

Protesters, whom Trump egged on during a fiery speech before Wednesday's deadly siege on the Capitol, say the presidential election, in which President-elect Joe Biden won both the electoral college and popular vote over Trump, was tainted, and stolen from President Trump. 

Days after Wednesday's attempted coup on Congress by angry Trump supporters the president was banned from posting on Twitter, Facebook and various other social media platforms, also for allegedly inciting violence. 

The president's Twitter account, before it was permanently deleted on Friday, had approximately 79.5 million followers, though  former president Barack Obama has the most followers at over 127 million, followed by Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Cristiano Ronaldo, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga respectively. 

If Trump is impeached in the House as predicted the measure then heads to the U.S. Senate.

There, and  after a hearing, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to convict the president in order to remove him from office.

Time is of essence, pundits say, and will likely become a problem for Democrats  anxious to sanction the president, who has only eight more days in office. 

As to potential impeachment of the president by the House, Speaker Pelosi, a  San Francisco Democrat, says she has the necessary House votes to get the president impeached.

All that is needed for impeachment is a yes vote from a simple majority of the 435 voting members of the House.  

Biden is set to be sworn in as president on Jan 20. 

As a Democratic president, he will serve with a Black female vice president in Kamala Harris, who will also be sworn in on Jan 20., and he will enjoy a Democratic majority in both the House and the Senate after Democrats won a majority in the House two years ago and in the Senate last week when  two incumbent senators from Georgia lost their seats to Democrats. 

If President Trump is impeached it will be the second time he has been impeached since taking office nearly four years ago.

His first impeachment by the House, also led by Speaker Pelosi, did not end in a conviction in the Senate, the final step toward a president's removal from office following impeachment by the House.
