Democrats Begin 2nd Attempt To Impeach Trump, Days After Capitol Violence

Democrats began the process of impeaching President Donald Trump
for a second time on Monday if Vice President Mike Pence and the
cabinet do not remove him from office.

Democrats introduced a resolution calling on Pence to invoke the
25th Amendment of the Constitution and remove Trump from the White
House for being unfit to discharge his duties.

Republicans blocked an immediate vote on the resolution and
Democrats followed up by introducing an article of impeachment of
Trump for “incitement of insurrection” over his role in Wednesday’s
storming of the US Capitol by his supporters.

The dramatic moves come just nine days before Trump is to leave
the White House and President-elect Joe Biden is to be sworn in as
the 46th president of the United States.

Democratic Representative Steny Hoyer of Maryland introduced the
resolution calling on Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and
declare Trump “incapable of executing the duties of his
office.”

Republican Representative Alex Mooney of West Virginia objected
to passing the resolution by what is known as “unanimous consent”
and it will be put to a vote on Tuesday.

After Republicans blocked the resolution, a single article of
impeachment against Trump was introduced in the
Democratic-controlled House of Representatives.

Trump was impeached by the House in December 2019 and now risks
being the first president ever to be impeached twice.

He was acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate following
his last impeachment and it is unclear whether the body would hold
a trial this time to consider the latest charges.
