On Wednesday, almost 21 years to the day since the House last debated impeaching a president, it does so again.

Lawmakers will take up two articles of impeachment against President Trump. They charge him with abusing his power and obstructing Congress.

Lawmakers will convene at 9 a.m. ET before heading into six hours of debate, as determined by the House Rules Committee Tuesday night. After debate, they will vote on each article.

Watch the proceedings live.
