The most important and discussed news in the world today is that President Donald Trump has cursed the lower house of Congress in the lower house of the United States.
As a result, according to the constitution, he will now have to face the impeachment vote in the Senate of the upper house. The lower house has accused him of raising two charges against Trump.
The first of these is to use a foreign country to give him political advantage and the second is to impede the Congress. However, President-elect Trump from the Republican Party has claimed no wrongdoing.
The investigation of the charges against him is called ‘Witch Hunt’ or Dakini Vidya. According to the BBC Online, Democrats have alleged that President Trump withheld nearly US $ 40,00,000 worth of military aid to Ukraine. He also invited Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelinsky to the White House.
In those two instances, he pressed Ukraine to investigate corruption against his political rival, Democrat Joe Biden. Democrats allege that the president abused his power by using US military support in the meantime. The White House, on the other hand, did not allow any staff to testify at the hearing on the investigation into the indictment. As a result, Democrats have accused Trump of obstructing Congress.
When it comes to the accusation of a president, the House of Representatives has the power to impeach the Constitution. They can serve as grand juries and bring charges. This is the role of the Senate. They can accuse a president. He may be accused of ‘treason, bribery, other high-level crimes and misconduct.’ There are a few general rules based on the accusations of former President Andrew Johnson.
That is what Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer have to set guidelines for everything – information, eyewitnesses, timeliness, reasoning.
After hearing the statements of both the House Prosecutor and the White House Council and lawmakers of both parties, including an eyewitness, a full day was set for debate. Then there was a vote on the complaint. If two-thirds of the lawmakers vote for the proposal, the president will be accused and lose power. The Senate of the United States has 100 seats.It currently has 53 Republican seats. The Democrats have 47 seats.Consequently, it is speculated that Trump could be relieved by the Republican majority in the Senate.
John Roberts, chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, will preside over the Senate session. However, senators will play both jazz and jury at the same time. Judge Robert will confirm whether appropriate rules have been followed in the indictment. If an equal number of votes fall, he will make the final decision.
On the other hand, Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House of Representatives, will elect a select group of Democrats as impeachment managers. They will represent the Senate in the Senate on the issue of lower court cases.
According to US media reports, the best choice may be Adam Schiff, chairman of the Intelligence Committee and Jerry Nadler, chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
Earlier, there were three Republicans who were managers at the time of the impeachment motion for former US President Bill Clinton. Among these was Lindsey Graham, a close friend of Trump. This time, Republican leader McConnell can join.
