Second Trump Impeachment Trial Begins
In the United States Senate, an impeachment trial is set to begin on Tuesday for former U.S. President Donald Trump. Last month, the House of Representatives voted to charge President Trump with the incitement of insurection insurrection. His accusers say his statements are at a large rally on January 6th inspired some of the people there to later riot at the U.S. Capitol Building. His supporters say the former president only called for a peaceful protests.
It's now up to the Senate to decide whether to find a former leader guilty or not guilty. The chamber`s 107 100 senators will serve as jurors for the trial. The constitution reguires a voter vote of 2/3 or 67 Senators to convict the president. Otherwise, the leader will be found not guilty. There are currently 50 Democrats and 50 Republican serving in the Senate, and political analysts say it is very unlikely that two-thrids of them will vote to convict the Republican former president.
There is also a debate going on about whether it`s constitutional to a whole hold an impeachment trial for
someone who is no longer in office. Former president Trump`s supporters called the trial political theater by Democrats since he is now out of office and a private citizen. But some legal experts say that the House impeached team him while he was still a president and the Senate has a the power to prevent someone from running for office again as well as removing someone from power. So, all eyes will be on the Senate in the days ahead
At this point, experts think this trial will be wrapped up within 3 weeks
