Hillary Clinton, former presidential candidate of the Democrats, has reacted to the impeachment of president, Donald Trump, by the House of Representatives.
She agrees that Trump abused his powers and left the lawmakers with no choice but to impeach him.
Clinton who lost to Trump in the 2016 US elections made the comments via her verified Twitter handle.
In her words, “One of our most precious rights as Americans is the right to determine who our leaders are.”
“The president abused his powers to cheat in the next election and rob us of that right. Then he obstructed Congress to cover it up. Impeachment is the only remedy.”
Trump was on Wednesday impeached by the House of Representatives, for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The vote had followed weeks of testimony, related to his dealings with Ukraine. 230 to 197 votes in the Democratic-majority House saw to the impeachment of the US president.
