I’m from Korea, and we impeached our president last year, mostly because he declared martial law, but he was also a terrible president, and no one really liked him being there, even his own party.
Why can’t the U.S do the same, if Donald Trump is so bad? Why are some Americans even supporting him?
Trump’s party has a majority in both Congressional houses. Also, for impeachment to become a conviction, you need 2/3 of the vote in the Senate to get Trump pushed out of office. That will require several of Trump’s party’s senators to vote for impeachment. During the last Trump impeachment, only one of Trump’s party voted for impeachment and he is no longer a senator.
I thought the law required equal bipartisan representation across the board. Did Trump somehow circumnavigate that law?
A Senate impeachment trial is effectively a vote of the Senate. It doesn’t require bipartisanship.
