Donald Trump has a blunt message for the Democrats: hurry up and impeach me. There’s one very important reason he’s acting like this.
, the US President reiterated he was more than ready for the coming battle, claiming there was “no impeachment case” against him, and that the “Do Nothing Democrats” were “demeaning our Country”.
She said investigators had uncovered sufficient evidence proving Mr Trump abused his office for political gain, violated the President’s oath to the Constitution and warranted removal.It takes two separate votes to remove a sitting President from the top job. At this stage, this first vote is quite likely to pass. Democrats control the House with a 233-person majority, meaning they could impeach Mr Trump with no Republican support.
Republicans are in control of the Senate, with 53 senators to the Democrats’ 47. For the Senate to convict Mr Trump and complete the process, 20 members of Mr Trump’s own party would be required to vote against a man who is easily their best shot at another four years in government. The results of the impeachment hearings are unlikely to sway rusted-on Trump supporters, but only 29 per cent of Americans identify as Republican according to Gallup polling.
