Democrats are expected to submit a bill to Donald Trump’s trial tomorrow, Monday, as a prelude to his removal. His deputy, Mike Pence, has reportedly given the go-ahead to activate Article 25 of the US Constitution. According to Bloomberg News, US Treasury Secretary Steven Manuchehr has also left his trip to seven countries in the Middle East and North Africa unfinished and will return to the United States. All the evidence suggests that the US government intends to activate Article 25 of the Constitution to oust Trump.
CNN quoted a source close to Pence as saying that he did not expect the activation of the 25th amendment to the constitution to oust Trump and said that this article would be activated if Trump’s adventures continued.
The source noted that Pence’s team is concerned about the possible consequences of activating the amendment and even fears that it could lead to a Trump trial in Congress, given the possibility of Trump’s other adventurous moves – which could be dangerous for the country.
CNN reports that Republican lawmakers and senators – who were Trump allies – have said they support the Democrats’ bid to oust the president if the bill makes sense.
In an interview with Fox News, Republican Sen. Pat Tommy said he thinks the president has committed a crime that should be tried in Congress.
In addition to Tommy, Senators Lisa Morkowski, Adam Kinzinger, and others are among Republican senators and lawmakers who have called for Trump to be ousted or for the 25th Amendment to be amended.
Democrats are speeding up Trump’s trial in Congress, and if he refuses to resign, they will present a bill to Congress tomorrow, Monday. Under the bill, he is accused of “inciting insurgency.” At the same time, federal investigators announced the seizure of a truck carrying weapons and explosives in the grounds of the Congress building, shortly before Trump supporters attacked the building. This makes Trump’s situation worse.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg News revealed that US Treasury Secretary Steven Manuchehr has left his trip to seven countries in the Middle East and North Africa unfinished and will return to the United States.
The news agency quoted an informed source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, as saying that Manuchehr, who is likely to return to the United States on Monday morning, is trying to take control of the situation during the unrest in Washington.
