Trump impeachment: terms and conditions

Articles of impeachment against incumbent president Donald Trump could be taken up as soon as next week.

This statement was made by Jim Sciutto, CNN journalist, on his Twitter page.

According to him, the procedure might be started next week.

House will move forward with impeachment vote against President Trump by the middle of next week, if not removed by VP and Cabinet,” he tweeted.

Earlier, the US Congress has already announced the preparation of the articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. They also called for the application of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which provides for the recognition of the incumbent president incapable of holding the office. In that case, his term is temporarily transferred to Vice President Mike Pence.

As was reported by “Apostrophe”, after the US Congress recognized Joseph Biden as president-elect, Donald Trump announced that he would resign and transfer the power. However, he stressed that he still disagrees with the election results and will continue to fight.
