Insurrection

Pelosi assured this Friday in a letter to his colleagues that he would begin the process of impeachment if Trump does not resign “immediately”, something that seems very unlikely.

Democrats plan to accuse the current president of “Incite an insurrection” for his responsibility in the assault on the Capitol.

Monday is when they plan to file a complaint against Asset and vote in plenary to formally accuse him in the middle of next week, but under the American system, it is the Senate which must be in charge of developing the indictment, something improbable.

To the proposal was added Lisa Murkowskiof Alaska, the first Republican senator to call for the resignation of the outgoing president accused of being behind the assault on the Capitol last Wednesday, which killed five people.

“I want you to resign. I want it. It caused a lot of damage, ”he said. Murkowski in an interview with the Anchorage Daily News regarding the violent assault on Trump supporters in Congress to interrupt a session in which lawmakers would certify the Democrat’s electoral victory Joe biden.

The draft drafted by the Democrats request its withdrawal and its “prohibition against holding and enjoying any position of honor, confidence or advantage in the United States”.

The Progressive Caucus is convinced that this point will help convince some Republicans in the Senate who plan to run in the 2024 presidential elections and they see Trump as a possible rival in this race, according to the Politico daily.

President Trump’s handicap

Pelosi also left open the possibility of promoting a bill that create a commission to help decide whether a president is “able” to govern, but removing Trump in this way would require the vice president’s approval Mike pence, who so far refused to act.

The proposal aims to create a new mechanism to comply with the provisions of Amendment 25 of the Constitution, which states that the vice-president can replace the president if you state in writing that this agent “Is unable” to perform the position.

To do this, the vice president must have either a cabinet majority or “some other kind of body that Congress can create by law,” which does not currently exist and which the bill seeks to create. , even if this measure would not have effect without the complicity of Pence.

Before Twitter permanently suspends his personal account on Friday, Trump announced he would not attend Biden inauguration, who celebrated this decision of the outgoing president.

“It’s one of the few things that he and I have never agreed on. It’s a good thing it doesn’t come, ”he said. Biden.
