US lawmakers have taken another step to remove Donald Trump from the presidency before his term after the terrorist attack on Capitol Hill, the United States Capitol.
Today is Thursday BBC The impeachment motion against Trump was approved by a 232-198 vote in the lower house of Congress, the House of Representatives, on Wednesday.
This is the first time in the history of the United States that a president has been indicted twice.
The motion, which was approved in the House of Representatives, will be judged in the upper house of Congress, the Senate. Democrats and Republicans now have the same number in the 100-member Senate. Trump will be forced to resign before his term ends only if two-thirds of members agree.
Trump has been in power for only a week. Joe Biden will be sworn in as the next president of the United States on January 20.
The Senate’s decision on impeachment will not be known before January 20. However, he will not be able to run for president again in the future if he is found guilty in a Senate trial.
American media CNN The impeachment vote took place in the Democratic-controlled House on Wednesday after hours of debate. Ten Republican lawmakers voted in favor of Trump’s impeachment. The armed forces of the National Guard were deployed in and out of the capital at that time.
The impeachment charges against Trump are largely political. Congress alleges that Trump incited the attacks on Capitol Hill by speaking at a rally outside the White House on January 8.
As official recognition of Biden’s victory in Congress began that day, a group of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building. Five people, including two Capitol police officers, were killed in the incident.
The impeachment article states that Trump “repeatedly falsely claimed that the results of the presidential elections were fraudulent and should not be accepted.”
“Trump has repeatedly protested that day, and has voluntarily spoken to the public about what encouraged the extremists, and this is probably why the Capitol has been attacked, leading to violence and victims,” he said.
“Trump has seriously endangered the security of the United States and United States governmental institutions, threatened the integrity of the democratic system, and interfered with the peaceful transfer of power.”
Last week, 139 Republicans voted for Trump in the 2020 election.
