No president in US history has ever been impeached twice.

But that is likely to change this week.

The House of Representatives is moving forward with plans to impeach President Trump.

They plan to vote on impeachment if Vice President Pence doesn't first try by Wednesday

to remove Trump under the 25th Amendment.

And since that's an unlikely move from Pence, an impeachment vote Wednesday is more than

likely.

Democrats and lawmakers in the House would vote on an article of impeachment that House

Democrats formally introduced against Trump on Monday.

The article charges him with incitement of insurrection for his role in the takeover

of the US Capitol by a violent pro-Trump mob.

Democrats say they have enough votes in the House to impeach the president for the second

time in little more than a year.

But why impeach a president who's on his way out?

And if the House votes to impeach, what does that mean for the timing of the Senate trial?

And Trump be convicted after he leaves office.

And where would that leave the future of the Republican Party?
