The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, considers the President of the United States, Donald Trump, “unstable.”
The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, discussed with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, Mark Milli, the precautions to avoid the use of nuclear weapons by the president from the USA, Donald Trump. This is stated in a message from Pelosi to Democrats from the lower house of Congress, published on January 8 on her official website.
“This morning, I spoke with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milli, about possible precautions to prevent an unstable president from initiating hostilities or ordering a nuclear attack after receiving the launch codes,” Pelosi said.
According to CNN, the military briefed the chamber spokesperson on the procedure for the use of nuclear weapons and the precautions.
Pelosi also said that if Trump does not immediately leave the presidency, Congress will try to remove him from power and “protect the American people.”
On January 7, Pelosi asked Vice President Mike Pence to remove Trump from office based on the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution (this amendment regulates the procedure for removing the president if he is incapacitated) and warned that if this does not happen, Congress could initiate impeachment.
Pence has not yet officially commented on whether he is ready to begin proceedings to impeach Trump. According to the constitution, this procedure is initiated on the basis of a declaration of the vice president on the incapacity of the head of state. According to The New York Times, Pence opposes the termination of Trump’s term in the 25th Amendment. The vice president of the United States believes that this will exacerbate the chaos in the country, it will not stop it.
On January 6, at a rally outside the White House, Trump told his supporters that he would never admit defeat in the election and urged them to go to the Congress building, where Joe Biden would be declared the winner of the election. The protesters went to the Capitol. Trump promised to go after them but went to the White House and saw the assault on television, CNN claims.
As a result of the riots, five people were killed, including a police officer, 52 people were arrested and a state of emergency was declared in Washington. The FBI placed the participants in the assault on the wanted list and promised a reward for information on those who installed explosive devices in the United States Congress building.
On January 7, the United States Congress confirmed Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election. He received 306 electoral votes, while his predecessor as head of state, Donald Trump, obtained 232.
A general vote in the US presidential elections took place on November 3, 2020. Turnout in these elections was a record in 120 years, with about 160 million Americans participating. Trump went to this election along with Pence, who, if he won, was supposed to be vice president of the country again.
The inauguration of the new president of the United States is scheduled for January 20.
