Trump on Wednesday became the first American president to be impeached twice, as 10 members of his party joined with Democrats in the House to charge him with incitement of insurrection for his role in egging on a violent mob that stormed the Capitol last week. The Houses action set the stage for the second Senate trial of the president in a year. The precise timing of that proceeding remained in doubt, though, as senators appeared unlikely to convene to sit in judgment before Jan. 20, when Mr. Biden will take the oath of office and Mr. Trump will become a former president. The last proceeding was a partisan affair. But this time, Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, was said to support the effort as a means of purging his party of Mr. Trump, setting up a political and constitutional showdown that could shape the course of American politics. If a Senate trial resulted in Mr. Trumps conviction, it held out the prospect, tantalizing for Democrats and many Republicans alike, of barring him from ever holding office again. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.impeach [?m?pi?t?] vt. ______________________ 2.incite [?n?sa?t] vt. ______________________ 3.insurrection [??ns??rek??n] n. ______________________ 4.incitement [?n?sa?tm?nt] n. ______________________ 5.mob [m?b] n. ______________________ 6.storm [st??m] v. ______________________；n. ______________________ 7.timing [?ta?m??] n. ______________________ 8.oath /??θ/ n. ______________________ 9.showdown [????da?n] n. ______________________ 10.conviction [k?n?v?k??n] n. ______________________ 11.prospect [?pr?spekt] n. ______________________ 12.tantalizing [?t?nt?la?z??] adj. ______________________ 13.purge /p??d?/ vt. ______________________ 【词块学习】 请
