Visualize the 117th House and its members, and compare it with past congresses
In 1866, the House voted 105-20 to try former Confederate President Jefferson Davis for treason -- the trial ultimately never occurred.
The Senate voted to acquit former President Trump of charges of inciting the January 6th attack on congress. Although Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell expressed that Trump was legally culpable for a "disgraceful dereliction of duty", he concluded that the Senate is unable to convict former officials. The Senate had previously held it has the power to do so.
