It's been less than a week since the deadly siege at the US Capitol. Now, House Democrats - who accuse Trump of inciting the mob attack - appear to be pulling out of all the stops to try to boot the president before his term ends in eight days. This week, there are two efforts in play to remove Trump from the Oval Office.

* pull out of all the stops 필사의 노력을 하다

* all the stops 모든 노력

* boot 걷어차다

 

First up: getting VP Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. That's the one that allows the VP and Cabinet to remove a president if he's deemed unfit for office. If invoked, the VP would take over. Yesterday, the House tried to unanimously pass a resolution calling on the VP to make it happen. But House Republicans blocked it, arguing an issue "of this magnitude" had to be debated.

Today, Dems are taking it to a vote. The measure's expected to pass. And once it does, Pence gets 24 hours to invoke the amendment (something he's unlikely to do) or else.

 

The House will move forward with the impeachment process against Trump. For the second time in just over a year. While the first one relied on articles of obstruction of Congress and abuse of power, this one has a sole focus: incitement of insurrection. The charge accuses Trump of willfully making statements at a rally that encouraged "imminent lawless action at the Capitol."

Including: injuring law enforcement, putting congressional members and Pence at harm, interfering with the election certification process, and carrying out other violent and destructive acts. Lawmakers also pointed to Trump's repeated claims of election fraud and his pressure on state officials to overturn the election results.

 

The House has it scheduled for consideration first thing tomorrow morning. They reportedly have enough support to impeach the president, since a handful of Republicans are also considering it. And under the 14th Amendment, any person "engaged in insurrection" would be banned from holding elected office in the future. The president has yet to speak out on all of this, which may be because he has lost his favorite platform.
