"The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.
This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.
The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.
Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

Even a decent Governor from what I've gathered. But, like all Presidents, gets hampered by the past and has limits as to what can be done in the future.
Maybe the President we deserved but not the one we needed then.... I just hope that we don't know have the one we deserve and didn't need now.

Don't sweat it too hard. There's not much seriously crazy shit he could get through a Republican Congress and he doesn't even have that anymore. Besides, we could very well end up with another Only Nixon Could Go To China situation. Nobody's shitty at everything and we have means in place to mitigate the bits they are shitty at.

The way things are right now - one party controlling the House, the other controlling the Senate, and a President whose own party doesn't like him much - is honestly about my ideal governmental split. It's the least likely formation to pass insano bullshit because of the moderating effect of all the hurdles that have to be jumped.
