US Democratic Party is expected to vote on President Trump's impeachment bill earlier this week, saying it should hold accountability for the invasion of Congress.
The ruling Republican Party also has voices calling for President Haya, but it remains to be seen whether they will vote for the impeachment proposal.
In New York, correspondent Kim Jong-won reports.
<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.
Passing the impeachment bill requires a majority of the House of Representatives, but the Democratic Party currently occupies a majority of the House, so it is not difficult to pass the House.
The key is the Senate.
The impeachment bill passed in the House of Representatives is finalized only after a two-thirds approval of the Senate is obtained. Currently, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have 50 seats each.
It seems unlikely that this will happen, as Republican lawmakers have to vote for the impeachment of 17 people and Trump has only ten days left to resign.
In this situation, there are voices from the Republicans that Trump should do it himself.

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 for the approval to be applied.] The
US media said that President Trump was initially opposed to the use of the state defense force, and the decision was made by Vice President Pence and Acting Defense Secretary Miller.
