The second impeachment against Donald Trump in the House of Representatives approved | Last minute USA

The United States House of Representatives approved on Wednesday the second impeachment against President Donald Trump, something that had never happened before in the country’s history: two impeachments against a top leader in office. Democrats have had the support of ten Republican votes in the chamber to open the process for “inciting insurrection.” This process, just over a week before the outgoing president leaves office – next January 20 Joe Biden takes office-, comes as a result of the riots caused by the assault on the Capitol on January 6, when the victory of the Democrat in the recent presidential elections was certified, a result not accepted by the magnate Trump and since then has been dedicated to instigating protests. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, leader of her party’s initiative against Trump, despite the fact that she barely has days left until she leaves in any case, assured that the president it is a “danger” to the nation and that it “has to go.” Trump himself made an appeal this Wednesday from the White House to ask his followers not to provoke “violence or vandalism” in the demonstrations in his favor. Up to ten Republican congressmen joined the Democratic initiative with their votes. The leader of the party of the still president, Kevin McCarthy, who also blamed Trump for the assault on the Capitol, did show his opposition to this movement arguing that it will only serve to deepen the divisions. Now, the ‘impeachment’ goes to the Senate, where it is they would need two-thirds of the House votes to impeach President Trump.The Republican leader has said that this trial would take place after January 20, that is, after Trump has already left power. The deadlines prevent Trump from being removed before that January 20, but they would allow him to be disqualified from exercising With this process, Trump will become the first president of the United States to be subjected to two impeachment proceedings after he was acquitted in February 2020 after being accused of abuse of presidential power and obstruction of Congress for pressuring Ukrainian leaders to investigate Biden and his son Hunter for their business activities.
