FULL COVERAGE: All day House debate leads to President Trump IMPEACHMENT on both articles

The House voted to impeach President Trump for "abuse of power" and "obstruction of Congress" related to his dealings with Ukraine after hours of heated debate Wednesday, making Trump the third American president ever to be impeached.

The separate votes on the two counts teed up an all-but-certain Senate acquittal, should House Democrats forward the charges to the GOP-controlled chamber. They also fulfilled a promise made by some Democrats ever since Trump's inauguration to impeach him, even as polls have shown support for impeachment declining.

The vote unfolded as Trump was holding a rally on friendly turf in frigid downtown Battle Creek, Mich., where thousands lined up hours in advance -- with some reportedly sleeping in tents beginning Tuesday night so that they could guarantee a seat.

"By the way, it doesn't really feel like we're being impeached," Trump said at the rally. "The country is doing better than ever before. We did nothing wrong."

He went on to say that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Democrats had "branded themselves with an eternal mark of shame," and were on a "political suicide march."
