Pelosi to move forward with impeachment Trump

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told lawmakers late: "We will go ahead with impeachment measures in the House of Representatives unless Trump is removed under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, and they will first vote on a resolution this week calling on Vice President Mike Pence and the government to impeach the president." Donald Trump from office before moving to accountability. "

Nancy stressed the need to act urgently, saying that "this president represents an imminent threat to the constitution and democracy."

"As days go by, the horror of the continuous assault on our democracy, committed by this president, increases, as does the immediate need to act," she said.

Nancy disclosed in a letter that the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on Monday or Tuesday on a resolution urging Pence to resort to the twenty-fifth amendment to the US Constitution that allows him and the government to dismiss the president if he is unable to perform his official duties, adding that after that, "the House of Representatives will proceed." In introducing accountability legislation. "

Earlier, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives asked her Democratic colleagues in the House to prepare to return to Washington this week, while US President Donald Trump, who closed his Twitter account and had been rejected by a number of Republican officials, faces a new effort by Democrats to isolate him after it has been done. The Congress building was stormed by his supporters.

"We will continue meetings with members, constitution experts and others," Nancy said, in a message to the Democratic members, published Saturday, according to The Hill newspaper, after she received comments on how to respond to the riots on Wednesday, adding: " I urge you to be ready to return to Washington this week. "

In hours-long conference call with the caucus of the House of Representatives on Friday, lawmakers expressed near-unanimous support for impeachment.

Nancy threatened to impeach Trump for a second time, unless he submits his resignation "immediately", a step that is unlikely to be taken by a president whose behavior is challenging and confrontational.

Nancy also asked members to prepare draft legislation aimed at activating the 25th amendment to the US Constitution that allows the president to be removed from office if he becomes unable to carry out his official duties.

To activate the 25th constitutional amendment, Mike Pence, the Vice President, and a majority of Trump's government must declare him incapable of performing the duties of the presidency.
