President Trump could face a second impeachment trial following Capitol attack

U.S. President Donald Trump could soon be facing an unprecedented second impeachment trial following last week’s deadly attack on Capitol Hill.

Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has laid out a number of options open to Congress during the waning days of Trump’s tenure.

Basically, Pelosi is giving Vice-President Mike Pence and Cabinet officials 24 hours to decide on invoking the 25th Amendment.

The President’s dangerous acts necessitate his immediate removal from office. We look forward to hearing from the Vice President as soon as possible and to receiving a positive answer as to whether he and the Cabinet will honor their oath to the Constitution and to Americans.

After that, she says the House would move toward a second impeachment of Trump.
