Understanding the impeachment process

President Trump is coming to Minnesota next month. His re-election campaign has announced an October 10 rally at Target Center in Minneapolis.

The president will be campaigning here as the U.S. House of Representatives considers his impeachment, a process set in motion by a whistleblower complaint that was made public on Thursday.

Only two Presidents have ever been impeached, and none have been removed from office. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Hamline University political science professor David Schultz for more context on the process.
