House Republicans, in the lead-up to Wednesday vote on articles impeachment, warned their colleagues that the next Democrat president might suffer the same fate, saying again that the impeachment process has become tainted by partisan politics.

Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) said Tuesday night that when future lawmakers debate impeachment, he predicted a “day of reckoning” for a future Democratic President. “There will be a day of reckoning. The calendar and the clock will continue. But what you do here and how we have trashed the process in getting here will live on,” said Collins, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, during the House Rules Committee.
