Trump's first impeachment - 2020

Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., called the “extreme” effort by Democrats to unseat the president “unjustified and intolerant,” and that he did not believe the charges brought forth against Trump constitute an impeachable offense. Shelby said he would vote to acquit the president, and that it was “time to move on.” “At the end of the day...the ultimate judgment rests in [voters’] hands,” said Shelby.

Senators weighed in Feb. 5 on whether they planned to vote to remove President Donald Trump from office later that same day. After the Senate voted last week to bar new witness testimony and subpoenas for documents, Trump’s acquittal has seemed all but assured. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles of impeachment--abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
