The impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump has the whole world watching as lawmakers changed American history with the third-ever successful vote.

It has also doubled as a political showdown that will surely go down in the history books, memorialized not only by the transcripts, televised public hearings, and lawmakers' public statements, but also the memes.

Before House lawmakers passed two articles of impeachment, a number of witnesses testified publicly before Congress over several weeks about allegations that Trump used $400 million in military aid to Ukraine as leverage for his own political and personal gain.

Though some dismissed some moments in the process as boring, the internet has had plenty to say about the developments of the impeachment probe — from the moment that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the inquiry at the end of September, to the successful votes.

Here are some of the best memes from the impeachment inquiry so far:

The simple word of "impeachment" made its way into funny puns, including one by singer Lizzo.

People made Pelosi into a meme when she first announced the impeachment inquiry.

Some memes showed how people planned on keeping up with the inquiry.

Amid the stunt of Republicans storming the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) while House Democrats conducted closed-door hearings at the start of the impeachment inquiry, one woman in blue stood out from the crowd.

George Kent, a senior State Department official, and Bill Taylor, the top US diplomat in Ukraine, testified on the first day of public impeachment hearings, and some people were shocked with what they had to say.

Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman testified in the second public hearing, but people noticed a reporter chugging her coffee as Vindman delivered his testimony.

Gordon Sondland, US Ambassador to the European Union, testified on Nov. 20 in the third day of public hearings, delivering one of the most damning testimonies of the impeachment probe — all with a smile on his face.

After Sondland's testimony, Trump spoke to reporters with notes in hand. The memo, written in Sharpie, prompted the internet to meme-ify it.

When it came time for the Democrat-led House to vote, a #MerryImpeachmas spread among Trump's gleeful critics.

Trump himself even got in on the memes by posting a photo of himself with a foreboding message before the vote.

After two articles were passed, some users riffed on the next steps, noting that Trump will not be automatically from office and the process heads to the Republican-controlled Senate.

Overall, these memes serve as funny reminders that the US is living in quite a historic time.
