President Trump continues to discuss the impeachment. The US House of Representatives passed in the morning of December 19: 4:35
Discussions by the ruling and opposition members began at a plenary session of the House of Representatives over a resolution for prosecution against President Trump's ban on the allegation of Ukrainian U.S.A. The resolution will be passed by the majority of opposition parties and Democrats who hold the majority of the House of Representatives on the morning of 19th Japan time, and President Trump is expected to be imprisoned.
The US House of Representatives opened the plenary session at 9:00 am on the 18th local time and 11:00 pm on the 19th in Japan time, and began deliberation on a resolution for the impeachment prosecution for the remission of President Trump.
The resolution is a prosecution of a general criminal case. It is a “power abuse” that President Trump put pressure on Ukraine for its own political interests, and a “disturbance of parliament” that hindered the investigation of the parliament over allegations. We are looking for the president's dismissal based on one of the pillars.
The ruling party and the Republican party, who strengthened the reaction as “there is no evidence worthy of impeachment,” strongly resisted the impeachment proceedings led by the Democratic Party, such as submitting a motion requesting the termination of discussion immediately after the opening of the plenary session. The method of proceeding deliberation decided at the meeting was approved by many in favor.
In response to this, it is expected that members of the ruling and opposition parties will discuss the resolution for 6 hours and vote on the morning of 19th Japan time.
The House of Representatives is dominated by the Democratic Party, so the resolution will be approved by majority and Trump will be imprisoned.
On the other hand, President Trump and Republican criticized the Democratic Party as a political controversy, while denying allegations thoroughly at the plenary session broadcasted nationwide on the back of firm support. It seems that they want to minimize the impact on the presidential election.
If President Trump is charged with impeachment, he will be the third person in American history after Johnson in the 1860s and President Clinton in the 1990s.
