Americans all over the country tuned in Thursday as Supreme Court Justice John Roberts was sworn in to preside over President Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate. Students at the University of Arkansas, like Alex Mackey, were among them."Just about all of my classes, even the ones that have nothing to do with government or policy, are talking about it. This is just a major discussion for everyone right now. It's such a big deal," Mackey said. Students at the University of Arkansas went about their normal Thursday afternoon, passing from class to class, but they couldn't help thinking about what was happening in Washington. "It doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel real. Even though a lot of people, including myself, might not agree with our president, we don't want to see the leader of our country go through this sort of thing," Mackey said. President Trump joined Richard Nixon and former Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton as the third president in American history to go on trial for impeachable offenses. President Trump faces two articles of impeachment. One accuses him of abusing his power. The other accuses him of obstructing Congress. University of Arkansas political science professor Bill Schreckhise said social media makes President Trump's impeachment different than others. "In the past, there was no such thing as Twitter. President Trump's love for the medium has made it significantly different that the last two trials," Schreckhise said. "I'm guessing in the weeks to come we are going to see some very interesting tweets from the President."As young people across the country keep an eye on the impeachment trial, students like Marisa Padilla said she is worried about the future of the United States. "I feel like we are living through history. As this new young generation is coming up, where we are going to be in positions of power, it feels like we are going to either have to deal with what's left behind. We are kind of watching our future being made," Padilla said. The Senate adjourned Thursday afternoon and will reconvene Tuesday, Jan. 21, to official start President Trump's impeachment trial.
