US democracy pushes the fence to pull down Trump ordered to attack parliament

Democrats in the United States have urged Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, saying that US President Donald Trump, who has two weeks left in office, should be brought down immediately.

To prevent the final decision of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, it sparked the’impeachment theory’ that President Trump should take responsibility and step out of office in the violence that protesters supporting Trump invaded the Capitol on the 6th (local time).

Article 25 of the Amendment stipulates the issue of the president’s inability to perform his duties and succession. If it is judged that the President is unable to carry out the powers and duties of that office, the vice president shall act on behalf of the office.

The situation is stipulated in the case where a majority of the Vice President, the Minister of the Administration, or a majority of the heads of agencies established by the Parliament in accordance with the law sends a letter to the Temporary Chairman of the Senate and the Chairman of the House of Representatives stating that the President cannot perform his duties.

The reason Democratic Party lawmakers insisted on impeachment was based on the judgment that President Trump was responsible for triggering the unprecedented congressional occupation.

Congressman Ted Liu (California) told Vice President Pence, “You must invoke the 25th Amendment,” and “Trump is far from reality.”

Congressman Jennifer Wexton (Democratic Party, Virginia) declared the protesters as “domestic terrorists,” and criticized President Trump for promoting their terror before the presidential election.

Rep. Wexton wrote on Twitter, “Even though President Trump was able to stop the protesters, he pushed them into a frantic state to attack Congress.”

Representative Omar (Minnesota), one of the four members of the House of Representatives of color who was racially attacked by President Trump, said, “We can’t let President Trump remain in office.” Said.

According to the political media The Hill, the American Manufacturing Association (NAM) also publicly discussed the issue of dismissing the presidential office, saying, “Vice President Pence should seriously consider how to closely consult with the Cabinet about the invocation of Article 25 of the Amendment to protect democracy.”

In a statement on the 6th, J. Timmons, president of the American Manufacturers Association, said in a statement, “This is confusion, not according to law and order,” and “the rule of the mob is dangerous.” He then criticized that “President Trump incited violence in an attempt to maintain power, and Trump advocates are rejecting democracy.”

This is not the first time that President Trump has been discussed to invoke Article 25 of the Amendment.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussed Article 25 of the Amendment when President Trump contracted the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) last October. This is in case the president is difficult to function due to health problems.

At the time, Pelosi pointed out, “When was the last time President Trump was tested negative before he was tested positive?” “The White House is hiding information about the president’s health.”

Earlier, President Trump passed the impeachment point once. He was involved in impeachment over the “Ukrainian scandal” from the second half of 2019, but the impeachment proposal was rejected in the Senate, where the Republican Party occupied a majority in February of last year.
