国际英语资讯:Spotlight: U.S. Democrat-led House to vote impeachment articles against Trump next week

"All of our presidents would be impeached under this Rogue House of Democrat Leadership," Trump said on Twitter before the vote on Friday morning.

"The Republican Party is more united now than at any time in its history - by far!" the president said in a series of tweets. "The Do Nothing Democrats have become the Party of lies and deception!"

Before Friday's final votes, the committee discussed potential amendments. However, Republicans failed to remove or limit the accusations.

"The central issue of this impeachment is the corruption of our institutions that safeguard democracy by our president," Nadler said during the debate.

Doug Collins, the top Republican on the panel, accused that the Democrats have been intent on removing Trump from office, calling the impeachment proceedings a "farce".

"We have been on this path since November 2016," Collins said during the debate.

"They might as well have been speaking different languages, from alternate realities," a report of The New York Times commented on the lengthy debate.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested at her weekly press conference on Thursday that Democrats would have the enough votes to pass the impeachment articles without Republican support.

"No one is above the law; the president will be held accountable for his abuse of power and for his obstruction of Congress," Pelosi told reporters. "It is urgent."
