Predsednički dom američkog Kongresa održava sednicu na kojoj se raspravlja o impičmentu Trampa. Prethodno je Predstavnički dom, u kom većinu imaju demokrate, usvojio rezoluciju kojom se od potpredsednika SAD Majka Pensa zahteva da primeni 25. amandman ustava kojim bi preuzeo predsednička ovlašćenja zbog nesposobnosti predsednika.

Pens je to odbio da uradi, pa je Predstavnički dom nastavio raspravu o impičmentu.

Sednicu obezbeđuju jake snage Nacionalne garde pod oružjem, koje su raspoređene ne samo oko Kongresa, već i u samom zdanju na vašingtonskom Kapitolu.

Reinforcements have arrived in the Capitol ahead of today’s impeachment vote and for inauguration week. All quiet for now.

The US Capitol is now a military base. Massive show of force outside. National Guard is armed with rifles and spread just few feet apart along perimeter as House prepares to impeach the president pic.twitter.com/cPspvZMBUF

Tokom prethodne sednice 6. januara, kada je Kongres potvrđivao rezultate elektorskog koledža i predsedničkih izbora, demonstranti koji podržavaju Donalda Trampa i njegove tvrdnje da su izbori neregularni, upali su u zgradu Kongresa. Kako je saopšteno, petoro ljudi je izgubilo život tokom tih nereda u Vašingtonu.
US Capitol is now a military base, with National Guard quartered on the House side with their weapons beneath statues of Lincoln and Washington — something we’ve not had to do since the start of the Civil War. pic.twitter.com/beDlPa8RIS

Demokratska većina u Predstavničkom domu pokrenula je opoziv Trampa sa obrazloženjem da je podsticao demonstrante na nasilje.
