Congressmen from the Republican Party have blocked a resolution by members of the Democratic Party to remove the current President of the country, Donald Trump. This is evidenced by the broadcast broadcast by CNN.
The representative of the Democrats asked for the application of the 25th amendment to the Constitution of the States by US Vice President Mike Pence. It allows for the immediate termination of Trump’s presidency.
After the objection raised by the Republicans, the meeting was adjourned. It will continue on Tuesday January 12, at 9:00 am local time (17:00 Moscow time).
Earlier, the US House of Representatives issued a resolution to impeach Trump. The Democrats also presented to Congress a resolution to remove the current US president. The politician is accused of inciting insurgency and for “seriously endangering the security of the United States and government institutions.” According to members of the House of Representatives, Trump remains a threat to national security and democracy, because of this he should be removed from office.
On January 7, Democratic congressmen prepared and circulated a proposal for a resolution to impeach the current US leader. According to the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Congress Nancy Pelosi, Trump has committed “subversive actions” and should be removed in accordance with the 25th amendment to the US Constitution on the inability of the president to fulfill his duties.
This is a protest action that took place on January 6 in Washington. Then Trump’s supporters broke into the Capitol, not recognizing the results of the November vote, which resulted in the election of Democrat Joe Biden as president. The rallies led to clashes with the police. Five people died, dozens were detained.
