Everything indicates that the president of the UNITED states must be brought to a rigsret. Less likely it is that he be found guilty.
After three months with examinations and several hearings in the House of Representatives, is president of the UNITED states, Donald Trump, are closer than ever before to be made for a rigsret.
on the Night of Thursday, local time is expected the members to vote on whether there is basis to raise an impeachment against Trump.
And all the indications are that the matter becomes a reality, assesses Anders Agner Pedersen, who is editor-in-chief at netmediet Kongressen.com.
– The most likely outcome of the process is that the House of Representatives decides that Donald Trump should be made for a rigsret.
– Then the case will run in the Senate, and rigsretssagen will probably end with, that there is not enough support to remove Donald Trump, he says.
The latter will require that a number of republicans turn the president back. And it is a scenario which, according to the editor is quite unlikely.
To put out with the president is simply not as smart as a republican – not at all, when there is less than one year to the next presidential election.
– requires at least 67 out of the 100 senatorers votes to remove a president of the united states, and it is not something that suggests there is, at present, explains Anders Agner Pedersen.
– the Senate is divided in two almost equal camps. There are a large number of republicans who need to turn their president back, and it is difficult to see that anyone would want to do it with less than a year for the next election.
Donald Trump is accused on the one hand, to have abused his power by putting pressure on the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenskij.
the Goal should be to get Ukraine to examine Trumps rival democrat Joe Biden and his son in order to find cases that might affect Biden during next year’s presidential election in the UNITED states.
in Addition, consider the Democrats, who have been the engine in the interim rigsretsundersøgelse that Trump has hampered the Congress of the work by denying top officials to testify in the case.
ultimately, It is the Senate that determines whether or not Trump has been guilty of the accusations made against him. If he is found guilty, will be the consequence, that he must leave his office as president.
the Republicans have turned the ring on Trump in this case. They have not wanted to acknowledge that there was something to come after.
– at the same time it is also a well known fact that you settle on the Donald Trump, says Anders Agner Pedersen, referring to the fact that even republicans who are dissatisfied with the Trump, probably will keep his hand over him.
If rigsretssagen becomes a reality, is Donald Trump the third president in USA’s history to having to be in front in such a case.
