The Democratic Party has proposed impeachment of the late US President Donald Trump. The motion was filed in the wake of Wednesday's attack on the Capitol Hill building, which houses the US Congress. Even many Republican senators are no longer willing to support Trump. Not only that, but some of the appointments that Trump made at the administrative level have also resigned following the Capitol Hill incident.

However, after the violence on Capitol Hill, Democratic Party leaders are no longer willing to wait until January 20. He says Trump should step down immediately. He also demanded a ban on standing for re-election. If Trump does not announce his resignation from the White House as soon as possible, we will start impeachment against him, said Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Trump has been impeached once before. Most of the Republican senators who sided with Trump at the time were not ready to support Trump this time. This does not mean that he will take a stand against Trump. However, it is clear that Trump has lost the sympathy of millions of his supporters.

Meanwhile, Vida Trump has challenged the outcome of the presidential election in Parliament, saying that Joe Biden will field a new candidate in parallel with all the Republican senators who did not prevent him from winning.

Resignation and skepticism

Violence by Trump supporters on Capitol Hill drew widespread criticism. Many Republican leaders in Trump's faith also publicly condemned the incident. Critics include several former ministers in the Trump administration and senior American diplomats.

Democratic leaders have called for Trump to step down immediately. According to him, "Trump is a big threat to the country. He is unpredictable and therefore there is no justification for giving him another 11 days in the White House."

If Trump is removed prematurely, he will never be able to run for president again. However, that would require Mike Pence, the US vice president and his partner in the presidential election, and other ministers to begin the process of retiring President Trump.

This action can be taken under Article 25 of the US Constitution. Speaker of Parliament Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer have also called on Pence to take action. Pence has not yet commented on the appeal. However, some believe that Pence could take such action. This is because the Capitol Hill incident was opposed by many senior officials in the Trump administration.

Earlier, when the Democratic Party tried to file an impeachment motion against Trump, it did not succeed due to lack of support from the Trump cabinet. This time, however, Speaker Nancy Pelosi herself is in talks with Trump aides.

Fear of nuclear attack

Nancy Pelosi said in a letter that she had discussed with US General Staff Secretary of State Mark Millie what would happen if outgoing President Donald Trump ordered a war or a nuclear attack. However, General Mark Millie's response has not been made public. If Trump does not leave the White House this week, he could face impeachment in the next few days, warns Nancy Pelosi.

The US Congress is called Congress. Congress has two houses - the House of Representatives (junior house) and the senate (upper house). The Democratic Party has a majority in the lower house. An impeachment suit could be filed against Trump on the basis of this majority. If that happens, Trump, who has twice faced impeachment, will become the first president in US history.

However, the Democratic Party does not have the numbers to take action against Trump without the support of Republican leaders in the Senate. Many Republican leaders in the Senate are also angry with Trump. However, he is in no hurry to launch an impeachment against Trump. In 2019, when the Democratic Party tried to file an impeachment motion against Trump, he was opposed by Republican senators. Most of those senators are silent this time. Some senators
