For the first time in history, the US House of Representatives has adopted a second resolution to initiate impeachment against US President Donald Trump for provoking supporters for Capitol Hill rampage but the developments signify he is going to stay in the office until Joe Biden swears in.
However, it seems unlikely that the trial against Donald Trump would start before USPresident-Elect Joe Biden would swear in on January 20.
What happens next?
After the House has impeached Donald Trump, the matter would land in the Senate. The Senators will adjudicate on charges and decide whether he should be removed or not.
How it works?
US Congress is divided into two parts, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The House has voted in favor of impeachment with 232 votes in favor including 222 Democrats as well as 10 Republicans against 197 votes, all from Republicans.
As the resolution got clearance in the House, it will be referred to the US Senate.
It is highly shady, Why?
However, it is unlikely to happen as there are only six days left in Trump’s tenure in office.
Whereas, Senator Mitch McConnell, who is the majority leader for Republicans in US Senate, said he would not agree to use emergency powers for resuming the Senate session to start a trial against Donald Trump before Jan 19.
