Trump Impeachment Results: See How Each Senator Voted In President’s Acquittal


The impeachment of President Donald Trump has come to a conclusion, ending in a seemingly inevitable acquittal, mostly along party lines, as reported by The Inquisitr.

The 100-member upper house of the United States legislature voted for acquittal on the two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — by a margin of 52-48 on the former and 53-47 on the latter.

Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah notably broke from his Republican colleagues, voting in favor of Trump’s conviction on article one — abuse of power — after signaling his intention to do so in a measured speech earlier on Wednesday. Romney voted for Trump’s acquittal on the second article of impeachment, obstruction of Congress.

In his speech, Romney recalled the oath he took “before God, to exercise impartial justice” and outlined his belief that Trump’s actions did indeed meet the standards of high crimes and misdemeanors. He noted that he expects to face disapproval as a result of his vote and that he will be “vehemently denounced.”

“I’m sure to hear abuse from the president and his supporters. Does anyone seriously believe that I would consent to these consequences other than from an inescapable conviction that my oath before God demanded of me?” Romney asked.

“With my vote, I will tell my children, and their children, that I did my duty to the best of my ability, believing that my country expected it of me. I will only be one name among many — no more, no less — to future generations of Americans who look at the record of this trial. They will note merely that I was among the senators who determined that what the president did was wrong, grievously wrong.”

While other Republicans throughout the course of the proceedings acknowledged the impropriety of Trump’s actions to varying degrees, none joined Romney in his belief in — and vote for — a verdict of conviction. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) had joined Romney in breaking from Republican ranks by voting in favor of witness testimony, but ultimately voted in favor of acquittal, having previously said she believed Trump had learned a “pretty big lesson” from being impeached.

None of the Senate’s 45 Democrats voted in favor of acquittal, nor did its two Independents.
