TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Six Republican Senators joined their Democratic colleagues in the United States Senate on Tuesday to vote that the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump is constitutional.
The Senate confirmed the constitutionality of Trump’s impeachment trial by 56-44 votes following presentation from both sides — House impeachment managers and lawyers representing the former president — paving the way for the historic impeachment trial of the 45th President of the United States who left office on January 20.
From Wednesday onwards, each of the two sides — the House impeachment managers and Trump lawyers — would have up to 16 hours to present their case before the 100-member Senate for them to vote on the impeachment of Trump days later.
Both the Republicans and the Democrats have 50 members each. To impeach Trump, the Senate needs to vote the House impeachment motion by 67 votes.
