House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently launched an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump after he tried pressuring Ukraine into probing former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

Up until now, Democrats had wrestled with whether Trump should be impeached. But the startling revelations that the president tried enlisting aid from a foreign power to weaken a domestic political rival changed their calculations — and a flood of Democrats swung in favor of jump-starting impeachment proceedings against the president.

Currently, six House committees are investigating Trump for impeachable offenses, and they are expected to send their strongest cases to the House Judiciary Committee.

Impeachment proceedings originate in the House of Representatives, where either a special panel or the judiciary committee decides whether to send articles of impeachment — treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors — for a floor vote after reviewing the evidence. A majority of House members must vote in favor to impeach.

Then the Senate holds a trial overseen by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. If more than two-thirds of senators vote to convict the president, he or she would be ousted from office.

Today, there are 71 current members of Congress who were there for the Bill Clinton impeachment proceedings. One of them, Republican Rep. Don Young of Alaska, was even serving in Congress during the Nixon impeachment proceedings. (Nixon resigned in August 1974 before he would have faced near-certain impeachment.)

In October 1998, Clinton was impeached in a party-line vote by the House on charges of lying under oath and obstruction of justice. After a five-week trial in early 1999, the Senate voted to acquit Clinton on both charges in another party-line vote.
