The impeachment proceedings were initiated by Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, and after the vote she said she would try again.

She also accused Democrats of playing a "game" for not revealing earlier that Mr Green would cast a vote despite being in hospital.

"They hid one of their members, waiting to the last minute, watching to see our votes, trying to throw us off," she told reporters after the vote.

In an interview with the New York Times from his hospital bed afterwards, Mr Green said he was determined to cast his vote but did not anticipate how closely divided the House was going to be on the impeachment.

"I didn't come assuming that my vote was going to make a difference. I came because it was personal."

Mr Green, who has served as a House representative for the 9th district of Texas since 2005, said he believed Mr Mayorkas is a "good, decent man whose reputation should not be besmirched".
