Washington: Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said that if President Donald Trump does not give ‘immediate’ resignation in case of inciting the crowd to enter the Capitol Building. The House will proceed with the process of impeachment to remove them.
Joe Biden will take the oath of office on January 20, following Trump’s defeat in the election held on November 3. Pelosi and the Democratic Leader believe that Trump should be removed from office immediately following the incident of Trump’s supporters entering the Capitol Building (Parliament) on Wednesday.
“Members expect Trump to resign immediately,” Pelosi said in a statement on Friday. But if he does not do so, I have directed the Rules Committee to go ahead with MP Jamie Ruskin’s 25th amendment and impeachment motion. ”
After hours of talks with the House Democratic Caucus on the issue, he said, “The House will preserve all options, including the 25th Amendment, the motion for impeachment, the privilege motion for impeachment as per the rule.” Indian-American MP Pramila Jaypal said that the impeachment process should start immediately.
Member of Parliament Qiyelai Kahle said he fully supports Trump’s removal from the presidency, whether through the use of the 25th amendment or by bringing a fourth article of impeachment against him. He said that America has insecurity due to Trump staying in the White House.
Speaker Gregory Meeks, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, led the committee’s demand for impeachment of Trump by Democratic lawmakers. In a letter to Pelosi, lawmakers have said that in the case of democracy, it is extremely important to hold America responsible for restoring the global leadership position and the rule of law.
