On Wednesday, February 5th, Donald Trump became the third U.S. President to be impeached by the House of Representatives but acquitted in the Senate. With Utah Senator Mitt Romney the sole Republican dissenter, the Senate voted 52-48 to acquit Trump on charges of abuse of power, and a strict party line vote of 53-47 to acquit on charges of obstruction of Congress. Although the verdict was never in doubt, and no witnesses took the stand, the Senate trial was not without drama and perhaps, some historical precedent. Joining the Buzz on February 10, 2020 with a recap, is University of Wisconsin political scientist, Eleanor Neff Powell.
