US Democratic Party is expected to vote on a bill to impeach President Trump earlier this week, saying it should hold accountability for the invasion of Congress.
The Republican Party, the ruling party, also has voices calling for President Haya.

<Reporter> The
Democratic Party, which drafted a bill to impeach President Trump last week, is expected to vote in the House of Representatives tomorrow (12th) the day after tomorrow.
In order for the impeachment bill to pass, more than half of the House of Representatives is required, but the Democratic Party currently occupies a majority of the House, so passing the House of Representatives seems not difficult.
The key is the Senate.
The impeachment bill passed in the House of Representatives is finalized only after obtaining two-thirds of the Senate's approval. With only 10 days left, the possibility of realization is unlikely.
In this situation, there are voices from the Republicans that Trump should do it himself.
[Pat Tumi/Republican Senator: The best thing for our country is for the President to do it as quickly as possible and disappear.
Because there is not enough time to impeach.
In the end, Haya is best.]
Meanwhile, Maryland's Governor Hogan said on the day of the congressional intrusion that approval for the State Guard had been delayed for more than 90 minutes.
[Larry Hogan/Maryland Governor: All of the Maryland National Guards were summoned and ready to be dispatched, but they were unable to cross the Washington DC border.
It took quite a while to get approval.] The
US media reports that President Trump was initially opposed to the use of the National Guard, and this week's decision was made by Vice President Pence and Acting Defense Secretary Miller.
