CNN reported that the impeachment bill of former President Trump, passed in the US House of Representatives on charges of inciting civil war, could be sent to the Senate as early as the 22nd local time.

Politico, a media outlet for political affairs in the United States, said it could be as early as the 22nd, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expected to send an impeachment bill to the Senate within a few days.

However, Chairman Pelosi has not yet revealed the exact timing of the delivery.

The reason why it is not clearly stated when it was sent is because the Democratic Party’s political worries over dealing with the impeachment bill.

First, when the impeachment bill is sent and the Senate’s impeachment trial is confirmed, there is concern that interest will be concentrated and the key agendas promoted by President Biden may be buried.

In addition, although President Biden has already been in office, there is a problem that the Senate approval of the nominees for ministers is delayed even further, given that major ministers have not been approved.

Another variable is that negotiations on the operation plan between the in-house representatives have not been completed in the Senate, where Ui-suk is tightly divided into 50-50.

Republican Senate Representative Mitch McConnell is demanding that 60 out of 100 votes be agreed upon before the ballot proceeds, and Democrats say no.

The House’s impeachment bill was passed on the 13th, which left Trump’s term of office 7 days, and when impeachment was promoted by the “Ukraine Scandal” at the end of 2019, it took a month to send the Senate.
