Following Donald Trump’s impeachment by the Democrats-controlled House on December 18, Hillary Clinton appeared to have taken credit for the outcome in a determined tweet.
“The president has abused his power—using his office to further not the nation’s objectives but his own personal, political objectives—and, together, we are holding him accountable. Feel proud. Keep going,” she wrote on the morning following the impeachment.
One day earlier, just before the House came up with the conclusion, the former FLOTUS came up with another tweet aimed at Trump.
“One of our most precious rights as Americans is the right to determine who our leaders are. The president abused his powers to cheat in the next election and rob us of that right. Then he obstructed Congress to cover it up,” Clinton wrote. “Impeachment is the only remedy.”
Donald Trump became the third president in US history to get impeached.
The first president to get impeached was Andrew Johnson, the 17th president of the USA, who was found guilty of “high crimes and misdemeanors” back in 1868.
Following more than a century after the first impeachment, it was Hillary Clinton’s husband, President Bill Clinton, who got impeached for lying to a grand jury under oath. He was found guilty in 1998 whereas he was acquitted of his charge by the Senate a year later.
Responding to the impeachment process, Trump reacted angrily as he called out the Democrats and accused them of running a “witch hunt.”
Just days before his impeachment, President Donald Trump has promised that 2020 elections will be even more victorious than Brexit that had been going on for years.
Taking a shot at his critics, Trump cited the words of Steve Hilton of Fox News who praised his presidency for tacking unemployment and for coming up with criminal justice reform.
In addition, Hilton has also called Trump’s term at the office “one of the most successful presidencies in history.”
“Here in America it will be the same victory as Brexit, but even more so. In the US, while of this has been going on, the impeachment, the obstruction, the resistance, President Trump has managed to deliver not just his promises, but a record which adds up to one of the most successful presidencies in history,” Trump tweeted.
