Members of the House of Representatives will vote as soon as next week on two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, but everything changes when the issue goes to the Senate.

Democratic leaders, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), announced Dec.10 they are recommending two impeachment articles to the full House.
