ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「National Guard troops lined up outside the U.S Capitol at sunrise on Monday. House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump for inciting a mob that attacked the Capitol last week, vowing to press the charge after Republicans blocked their move to formally call on Vice President Mike Pence to unilaterally strip him of power under the 25th Amendment. The dual actions came as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her caucus sought to ratchet up pressure on Pence to intervene and push Trump to resign. If they did not, the Democrats vowed immediate consequences for Trump’s role in an attack that put the lives of the vice president, members of Congress and thousands of staff members working on Capitol Hill at risk as they met to formalize President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. As expected, Republicans objected to a resolution calling on Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, meaning that the House would have to call a full vote on the measure on Tuesday. Democratic leaders were confident it would pass, and pressured Republican lawmakers to vote with them to beseech the vice president, who is said to be opposed to using the powers outlined in the Constitution, to do so. It was a remarkable threat. If Pence does not intervene “within 24 hours” and the president does not resign, the House will move as early as Wednesday to consider the impeachment resolution on the floor, just a week after the attack. Already more than 210 Democrats have signed on to the charge, just shy of a majority of the House. Several Republicans were said to be considering voting to impeach for the first time, though party leaders were opposed. Tap the link in our bio for live updates from Washington.
