President Donald Trump has been impeached by the US House of Representatives.
The house voted to charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, setting up a trial in the Senate where Trump could be acquitted.
Newspapers across the US chose short headlines and dramatic pictures that focused on the historic moment that made Trump only the third-ever US president to be impeached.
Business Insider rounded up 13 of the most striking front pages, which you can see below.

The House voted on two articles: The first, charging Trump with abuse of power, passed with 230 votes to 197 against; and the second, charging Trump with obstruction of Congress, passed with 229 votes to 198 against.
Both votes related to Trump's dealings with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, who Trump asked to help gather information about 2020 Democratic presidential contender and former Vice President Joe Biden.

The San Francisco Chronicle also used a picture of Pelosi, choosing one from her speech to media after the votes. It also highlighted key quotes from the day, including Pelosi saying: "Today we are here to defend democracy for the people."

... and Texas' Houston Chronicle, which also highlighted pro-impeachment demonstrations and the potential for voters to be fatigued over the issue in 2020.

Using the same picture, The Boston Globe highlighted the vote margins, which saw Trump receive more votes for his impeachment than either Bill Clinton or Andrew Johnson.

(23,199 posts)1. drumpf impeached by the largest vote ever.
Worst president in the history of the country got a rebuke yesterday. The only question (not much of a question) is whether the Senate will provide any semblance of a fair trial, allowing evidence. Hope the House holds this off, because drumpf can not hold off on his lawbreaking, it's just part of his innate hate filled arrogance that he has no limits and is in effect - monarch. Parnas could blow the doors off this and the House needs to get him in ASAP, before articles are sent.
