The second impeachment trial against former US President Donald Trump has begun in the Senate. Voting began on Tuesday with a video of the January 6 riots in Capitol Hill. The Senate opines that the impeachment test against Trump is constitutional, while most Republicans are against the proceedings. This is the first time in the history of America, when impeachment is going on against a former president even after the completion of his term.
The US Senate on Tuesday voted 56-44 to pursue the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. Sinnett rejected his defense team’s argument that impeachment after leaving office was not constitutional. On Wednesday, 6 Republican members also justified the impeachment against Trump and voted for it.
In fact, on Tuesday, voting was held on whether impeachment can be conducted against the former president even after he leaves office, in which the impeachment trial continues on Wednesday in Senate after 6 Republicans voted in this favor.
