The newly appointed President of the United States Joe Biden has only been President for one day, but has got off to a flying start by signing a number of so-called presidential orders, including returning the United States to the Paris Agreement and contributing financially to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The president is also expected to soon take many other measures, such as stopping the construction of the wall against Mexico, intensifying climate work and the fight against the coronavirus.
While Joe Biden and the Democrats want to quickly change American politics and tear up many of Donald Trump's decisions, the lawsuit against the former president is also being continued.
Donald Trump brought to justice - again
One week ago, members of the House of Representatives voted to bring Donald Trump before the Supreme Court for the second time, which makes him historic as no US president has previously gone through a Supreme Court trial twice.
The House of Representatives, where the Democrats have a majority, considered Donald Trump guilty of rioting and causing the storming of the Capitol on January 6, when five people lost their lives.
But, it was not only Democrats who thought he should be brought before the Supreme Court, ten Republicans also voted in favor.
Decided in the Senate
The trial is now continuing in the Senate, where the indictment will be decided.
However, the matter does not land on the Senate's table until Nancy Pelosi officially hands it over and for the Democrats, the question now is when it is most appropriate.
"I will talk to leaders about when the senator is ready for the trial of the then US president for his role in inciting the uprising on the Capitol," Pelosi said in a press briefing.
According to sources to Reuters, however, the handover may take place already on Friday.
The time of handover is not unimportant.
Democrats have wanted to wait until Trump resigns as president for as many Republicans as possible to join their line.
But they also do not want the prosecution to focus on the Senate's work to deal with Joe Biden's new bill.
A qualified majority is required to overthrow Trump
If Donald Trump is to be overthrown in the Senate, however, the Democrats need to bring in significantly more Republicans.
Although the Democrats also have a majority in the Senate, a qualified majority is required here, ie two-thirds of the members must vote to overthrow Trump.
Should Donald Trump be overthrown, he will be the first president ever to be overthrown in a Supreme Court.
