The Democratic Party, which took control of the parliament, launched an impeachment campaign as US President Donald Trump raised the accountability of supporters invading the parliament.
Earlier, the Democratic Party called for the launch of Article 25 of the Amendment, which would immediately halt the president’s performance, claiming that President Trump had encouraged supporters to invade the parliament in an attempt to hinder Joe Biden’s certification of victory.
However, as Vice President Mike Pence, who has the authority to invoke Article 25 of the Amendment, and the Trump administration’s ministers refused, the Democratic Party, which became the majority of the Senate and House, is directly considering impeachment.
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Commissioner Adam Seef gathered together to discuss the impeachment bill.
“Impeachment is the only way to get rid of a president who has clearly and repeatedly violate the Constitution and put the country in serious danger,” he said in a statement. “We must act now.”
<뉴욕타임스>According to the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party proposed an impeachment bill against President Trump on charges of inciting violence and rebellion with the aim of interfering with certification as a result of the presidential election on the 11th, and so far, more than 170 members of the House of Representatives have agreed.
If the House of Representatives passes the impeachment bill again, President Trump will be the first president in US history to be prosecuted for impeachment more than once.
I’m leaving soon. Impeachment?… Can I stop running for president again?
In the House of Representatives, if the majority approve, the impeachment bill is passed, but in the Senate, conditions are stricter and two-thirds must agree.
In 2019, the Democratic Party, which was the majority of the House of Representatives, passed an impeachment bill on suspicion of abuse of power when President Trump pressed the Ukrainian government to investigate the corruption of the then Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
However, Chairman Pelosi is enthusiastically pursuing this impeachment bill, saying it is receiving more support than it did at the time. This is because the seats of the Democratic and Republican parties in the Senate have become the same 50-50, and the Republicans are already voicing their approval.
Republican Senator Ben Sas said he would vote in favor of the impeachment bill, and Senator Lisa Murkauski also urged, “President Trump has done so much damage to the country,” and “I hope he will resign himself.” .
Of course, some point out that impeachment of the President who is facing retirement is realistically meaningful. On the contrary, there are concerns that it will further stimulate the supporter of Trump and deepen the division.
However, if an impeachment is passed in the Senate, the president could vote for a vote that would prevent him from taking office again, so there is a possibility that Republican rulings who want to prevent Trump from running again will also approve.
but <워싱턴포스트>According to Republican Senate Representative Mitch McConnell said, “Even though the House of Representatives approves impeachment as soon as possible, the Senate will be able to adjudicate the impeachment after the 20th when President Trump leaves office.”
Biden “What Congress will judge”… virtually opposed
In the midst of this, President-elect Biden, who was about to take office, drew a line for the impeachment promotion, saying, “It is something that the parliament should judge.”
“Trump is the most incompetent president in the history of the United States,” said Biden at a press conference on the 9th (Korean time) and criticized “It was a serious trouble for this country and embarrassed us around the world.”
However, he said, “If President Trump had six months left in office, he would have had to impeach him or suspend his duties.” Anyway, after a few days, he will retire, so it is interpreted as a meaning of the need to impeach him.
CNN said, “As Biden-elect, I seem to want the public’s attention to focus more on the launch of a new administration than on the criticism of the upcoming president.”
