With only 7 days to go before the current U.S. president, Donald Trump, finishes his administration, he could become the first president to be removed from office and be denied the right to run again for a second term.
This Wednesday, House Democrats and some Republicans will vote to remove Donald Trump from office, just one week after a mob riot on Capitol Hill killed four people and is believed to have been encouraged by the president's own hateful and polarizing speech.
The speed with which the vote was called, as well as the fact that a group of Republicans joined the cause, makes clear the anger and disappointment felt by legislators after considering that Trump was inciting the troublemakers.
Thus, the House impeachment resolution accuses Trump of only one article, "incitement to insurrection".
So far, five Republicans have said they will vote to impeach the president, but House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise oppose the impeachment process.
While impeachment is unlikely, Democrats have quickly rallied around the use of impeachment in the final days of Trump's presidency, which will serve as a response to misconduct.
Various media have pointed out that there are fears of possible riots next Wednesday, January 20, when finally, the president elect of the United States, Joe Biden, will be sworn in as the new president of the American union.
Nancy Pelosi has set aside Republican efforts to take different action, such as censorship, in response to Trump's role in the riots.
The House speaker appointed the impeachment managers Tuesday night, a team of nine Democrats that will be led by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland.
