After the historic steps in the US, it is not just a shock to Americans: Washington has not seen such events.

Member of Seimas Žygimantas Pavilionis Delphi Day In the program, he assured that the wounds of American democracy are deep at the moment, but he hopes that Joe Biden will be able to unite the processes. The truth of what will happen to the impeachment is not yet clear.

“Opponents are likely to win, because Washington has not actually seen such events, perhaps only during the British invasion in the mid-19th century. The way they respect democracy, the way they respect Congress, is a shock to anyone who tries to defend the American dream and the ideals of freedom.

That, I think, can have an impact, it can be a decision, but let’s see how many senators on the Republican side vote in favor, never so many Republicans have voted for impeachment, the president has never been indicted twice.

I think the impact will be, on the other hand, the unity of the country is very important for Biden, it is important for him to confirm his cabinet, handle the pandemic, make sure the country is not divided, ”says Ž. Pavilion.

When asked what the main purpose of the impeachment would be, the interlocutor assured that it is important that Americans fight for freedom on a daily basis.

“I think the same goal we had thirty years ago, when Parliament was also under attack. It is a sanctuary of democracy: Congress, even on top of it stands a lady of liberty with a shield and a helmet, a sword Americans know that freedom must be defended not only outside the country, but also inside, every day, ”says Ž. Pavilion.

In the House of Representatives, at least 232 legislators voted against the president’s accusation of only indicting incitement to rebellion, and 197 rejected it without four congressmen voting.

In the 435-seat House of Representatives, a simple majority of 217 votes was enough to pass the imputed articles.

Voters in the legislature were largely distributed by party line, but the president’s impeachment was supported by 10 members of his own Republican Party, including the third Republican in the House of Representatives, Liz Cheney.

However, the Senate is unlikely to confirm the charge of inciting rebellion and remove the president, whose term ends on January 20.

Trump, who is in the White House, has yet to react to the House decision, but on Wednesday issued a statement saying he opposed any violence by his supporters.

“In light of the reports of new demonstrations, I urge NO violence, NO law breaking and NO vandalism. I do not support it and the United States does not support it,” said Trump’s report issued by the White House.

“I urge ALL Americans to help reduce tension and calm passions. Thank you, “he added.
