WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 -- U.S. Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee passed all the two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Friday, who will be impeached if the full House approves any of them by a simple majority vote.

"Next week, these two articles of impeachment - on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress - will come to the House Floor for consideration," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced shortly after the panel's votes.

After a two-day marathon debate sparring over Trump, the committee eventually voted separately on each of the articles precisely along partisan lines. Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler postponed the final votes on the articles to Friday after more than 14 hours of debate on Thursday.

Democrats outnumbered Republicans on the panel 24 to 17, with 23 Democrats voting to send the measures to the full House. One Democrat, Ted Lieu from California, was absent after undergoing an unexpected medical procedure earlier in the week.

All 17 panel Republicans voted no, arguing that the evidence is thin and weak. They also criticized Democrats were pushing a rapid-paced impeachment which will set a dangerous precedent.

Trump is the fourth U.S. president in American history to face impeachment. If he were impeached, he would be the third U.S. president to face a trial in the Senate.

Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, slamming the Democrats' effort as a "witch hunt "and hoax.
