Republicans have introduced a resolution officially condemning US President Donald Trump for trying to cancel the elections and encouraging «anarchy “.
Reported by The Guardian.
The Republican resolution overlaps with the Democratic impeachment stance.
Yet rather than impeach the president, Republicans backing the resolution say that «they want to formally scold him. “
US President Donald Trump has condemned attempts by Democrats to indict him for inciting insurrection.
The assault on the United States Capitol on January 6
On January 6, 2021, the United States Congress met to endorse Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election. However, the meeting had to be interrupted when supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Congress building.
Trump soon asked his supporters to disperse, but went on to claim that «the elections were stolen ”and what he understands «your pain. “
Police were able to clear the Capitol of protesters. During the clashes, four protesters and a policeman were killed and dozens more were arrested.
Subsequently, a joint meeting of the two houses of Congress was resumed in the Capitol, in which the results of the presidential elections and Biden’s victory were officially approved.
After that, Donald Trump confirmed the peaceful transfer of power to Biden, but refused to attend Biden’s inauguration.
After the assault on the Capitol, a group of representatives of the United States Democratic Party prepared a draft resolution declaring the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
According to the document, Trump could be accused of inciting rebellion and actively encouraging violence in the construction of the United States Congress.
An impeachment vote could take place on Wednesday, January 13. The initiators of the document believe that the House of Representatives will vote in favor of the resolution.
In the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Democratic candidate Joe Biden won the election, receiving 306 electoral college votes to the 270 needed to win. Donald Trump received 232 votes but refused to admit defeat and called the election rigged.
