The final inquiry into impeachment in the Senate against US President Donald Trump
Washington … News Time
The impeachment proceedings in the Senate against US President Donald Trump are moving toward its logical end. And it is likely that a final decision will be made on Tuesday. If the impeachment process resumes in the US Senate today, the final arguments will be given during this process. There is a possibility that the Senate will acquit President Trump from the charges because a two-thirds majority is required for the impeachment of the president. While the Democrats who have the impeachment action in the Senate do not have the required majority.
According to US broadcasters, the Democrats’ majority House of Representatives December 18 impeachment of President Trump on two charges the US president was accused of pressuring the Ukrainian president to interrogate his potential presidential rival Joe Biden and obstructing his actions. Both of the aforementioned charges will also be argued on Monday in the Senate’s impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Democrats have said the impeachment process would be incomplete because no witness statement was taken. Former US Secretary of Defense John Bolton was seen as one of the most important witnesses to the impeachment process. And Democrats wanted to call John Bolton as a witness in the Senate, but during Friday’s proceedings, the Senate voted against seeking witnesses and gathering new evidence, paving the way for President Trump to be acquitted. Adam Schaff, in charge of impeachment proceedings, told local TV that it was a welcome sign Senators from both parties have acknowledged that the Democrats have proven their case against President Trump. “We will go to the Senate and explain why it is necessary to remove the incumbent president,” he said. Adam Schaff said it was up to all senators to make the final decision and the senators would have to account for their decision.
Today’s Senate will start arguments closing at 11pm local time. The process will continue for about 4 hours. During which time the prosecutor and the lawyer will be cleared half the time. President Trump will address the State of the Union during a joint session of Congress Tuesday evening. Donald Trump is the third president in US history to face impeachment proceedings. President Trump says he will deliver a very positive message at the State of the Union address. Remember that it is certain that the Senate will acquit President Trump from the accusations, as he needs two-thirds support in the House – 67 votes of senators – to remove him from office. However, the Republican Party’s House has 53 and Democrats have only 47 members. Donald Trump will be a Republican candidate for the second term of the presidential election on November 3 this year. On the other hand, Biden is the strongest candidate for the Democratic Party nomination.
