The House swiftly impeached former President Donald J. Trump just one week after a violent mob stormed the Capitol, charging Mr. Trump with “incitement of insurrection.” Now as the only president to have been impeached twice, Mr. Trump will undergo the unique circumstance of being the first former president to face an impeachment trial in the Senate.
Here’s how Mr. Trump’s second impeachment has unfolded so far.
A violent mob stormed the Capitol after a Trump rally on Jan. 6.

The House introduced one article of impeachment against Mr. Trump for his role in whipping up a mob that stormed the Capitol.
The House passed a resolution on Jan. 12 that called on former Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to strip Mr. Trump of his powers. Mr. Pence refused.
House Impeachment Vote
The House passed the article of impeachment, impeaching Mr. Trump for the second time.

How the current impeachment compares with previous ones
Mr. Trump’s impeachment last month by the House was not the quickest in U.S. history. That distinction goes to President Andrew Johnson.In 1868, he dismissed his secretary of war, Edwin M. Stanton, and was impeached just three days later, the culmination of a broad power struggle with the Republican-controlled Congress over Reconstruction.
It is hard to determine a clear starting point for impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon and Mr. Clinton, and for Mr. Trump the first time. They all stemmed from ongoing scandals and investigations. But in each of them, the House voted and passed a resolution authorizing an impeachment inquiry and then moved forward with proceedings that lasted months.

Mr. Trump’s Senate trial last year lasted three weeks. This trial, despite the House’s swift impeachment, may not be significantly faster.
“I don’t think this one is going to be that much different in terms of the speed in which the Senate resolves the case,” said Frank O. Bowman III, an impeachment scholar at the University of Missouri School of Law. “The difference of course here is that the Senate does know most of the facts because they were in fact directly involved. In some cases, they were victims of the attempted insurrection.”
