The request of the president of the House of Representatives, the highest-ranking Democrat in the Government of the country, came a day after this Wednesday the second phase of the investigation began for the Judicial Committee of the Lower House. impeachment 'against Trump.

After two weeks of public hearings conducted by the House Intelligence Committee, responsible for finding evidence on Trump's behavior to initiate a political trial against him, it is now the turn of the Judiciary Committee, to define whether those offenses are sufficient or Not to continue the process.

Once the charges are drafted, and with the prior approval of the Committee, they will be put to the vote in the plenary of the House of Representatives, where they are expected to move forward without problems, given the comfortable majority of the Democrats in the House of 235 versus 199 There is no date at this time for this vote, but it is expected to take place before the end of the year.

The second and final chapter of the political trial will take place in the Senate, where Republicans have a slight majority of 53 seats in front of 47 Democrats.

However, the laws require that in order for a impeachment process to proceed , two-thirds of the upper house must be supported, so the vote in favor of Trump's dismissal of about twenty Republican senators would be necessary, something highly unlikely

The current republican president thus becomes the fourth tenant of the White House facing a political trial, which Andrew Johnson (1865-1869) and Bill Clinton (1993-2001) were successful at the time, and forced to resign Richard Nixon (1969-1974) before it occurred.
