Even in the Republican Party, where U.S. President Donald Trump is his own, faced some demands for voluntary resignation.
In conjunction with the Democratic Party’s pursuit of impeachment by claiming President Trump’s responsibility for agitation after the protesters riot in the Capitol on the 6th, Republicans also appear one after another who rebelled against President Trump. However, it is unclear whether this will be possible because the majority of the Senate, including Mitch McConnell, who is holding the key, are negative or do not make a special voice for impeachment or resignation.
Currently, President Trump is under three pressures: ▲ deprivation of duties through the administration’s initiation of Article 25 of the Amendment, ▲ promotion of impeachment, and voluntary resignation. Although most opposition Democrats are arguing, the Republican Party is also raising the burden on President Trump in that some voices of sympathy come out.
According to foreign media, Republican Senator Pat Tumi appeared on NBC on the 10th (local time) and told President Trump that the best option was to resign from the presidency. In an interview the previous day, it took a step further from the claim that “President Trump committed an offense that deserves impeachment.” Congressman Tumi argued that with only 10 days left in office, in the case of the invocation of Article 25, it seems that there is no will or consensus within the administration and there is not enough time to pursue impeachment, so resignation is best.
Senator Lisa Murkausky, who had an uncomfortable relationship with President Trump, said in a media interview that he wished for President Trump’s hay. It was the first Republican senator to claim to resign. Senator Ben Sas is in fact publicly speaking in favor of the impeachment.
In the House of Representatives, Republican Congressman Garrett Graves called for President Trump’s resignation on the 8th. Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who has publicly demanded the deprivation of the presidential duties through the invocation of Article 25 of the Amendment, said in an interview with ABC, “I don’t think (impeachment) is the wisest step, but it has become unavoidable.” “Vote in the right direction. I will do it,” he added to the theory of impeachment.
In particular, former New Jersey governor Chris Christy, a long-time aide to President Trump, also joined the impeachment argument. He appeared on ABC’s’This Week’ and pointed out, “We saw (President Trump) agitating the Capitol riots.” .
Former Governor Christy, who served as the candidate for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election in the process of preparing for the TV debate, was mentioned as a substitute for Joe Biden in this presidential election process, and helped prepare for the TV debate, and was confirmed as a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). I have received. After his defeat in the presidential election, he spoke publicly, saying, “National embarrassment,” to President Trump’s dissent.

The Associated Press said the White House did not immediately respond to the request to resign. The AP said, “President Trump has few Republican associates to defend him,” and “is increasingly isolated and hiding in the White House.”
The Republican leadership, however, appears to be criticizing President Trump’s actions, but negatively on resignation or impeachment. In the case of deprivation of duties using Article 25 of the Amendment, the triggering entity is the executive branch such as the Vice President and the Cabinet, but Vice President Mike Pence is known to be negative.
The day before, Senate Representative McConnell said the Senate would not be reconvened until the 19th. Even if the Democratic majority of the House of Representatives passes the bill of impeachment, the Senate hearing is possible only after the 20th when President-elect Joe Biden takes office. For Trump’s impeachment bill to pass the Senate, more than two-thirds of 100 seats need 67 votes. The Republican Party has 50 seats, and at least 17 people must approve of the impeachment.
House Representative Kevin McCarthy of the Republican Party expressed a negative position on the impeachment, saying that the impeachment of the president who is short of his tenure on the 8th will only further divide the United States.
The Washington Post (WP) said that many Republicans are ready to sever ties with President Trump, but supporters are still supporting him and are on the lookout. Most Republicans are silent about the riots.
