Former US Congressman Mike Honda said that the impeachment of US President Donald Trump must be done. “Even after he retires, there should be no pensions from the taxes paid by the American people.”
Honda’s former legislator first entered the US House of Representatives in 2000 and has won a total of eight elections by 2017. He was a Democrat and established a district in California, USA. It is known to us as the leading role in the’Resolution No. 121′ related to the comfort women of the Japanese military, which was passed by the US Congress in 2007.
Congressman Honda <뉴스1>In connection with the invasion of the Parliament House on the 6th, he criticized it as “it was due to the apparent fault of President Trump.”
“President Trump has made America a mockery to the world,” he said. “It is embarrassing as an American that he is president.”
When asked if he was angry with this case, former lawmaker Honda replied, “Being angry is not helpful,” and “I have to proceed with impeachment and move forward.”
He explained, “The amount of money that Trump currently receives is about 400,000 dollars (439.2 million won) per year,” he said. “After retiring, you can get that pay until you die.” He also pointed out, “If you don’t impeach, you won’t be able to recover Trump’s severance pay.”
Earlier, on the 13th (local time), a bill of impeachment against President Trump was passed in the US House of Representatives. With 232 votes in favor and 197 votes against, the majority voted in favor. Accordingly, the Senate is expected to conduct an impeachment trial around the 19th, the last day of President Trump’s term. On the 20th, the inauguration ceremony of Joe Biden will be held.
