democrat majority in the house the motion was passed but there's only after the vice president stated he would not invoke the 25th amendment and remove president trump from office in a letter to the speaker of the house the vice president said and i quote i do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our nation or. distant with our constitution he added under our constitution the 25th amendment is not a means of punishment or usurpation invoking the 25th amendment in such a manner would set a terrible precedent the debate did serve to indicate the arguments that are likely to be used in the impeachment process that will now begin in the house on wednesday the president was hell bent on trying to challenge undermine and overturn the results of the election in all of the events leading up to january 6th and on january 6th that is a profound during. the president's judy. there are those republicans who strongly

disagreed including one who was controversially awarded a medal of honor by president trump on monday in kenya calls to impeach the president or remove him from office for using the 25th amendment i don't think are healthy or our nation early in the day the president made his 1st public appearance since the eruption of violence in the capital last wednesday while besetting a portion of the border wall he continued to deny any responsibility for the damage and the deaths lashing out at those in congress seeking his impeachment the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and is causing tremendous anger in division and pain. but the majority of house members are adamant that the violence in the capital last week was a direct consequence of what they call incitement by the president the seed has

resulted in what the f.b.i. and the acting u.s. attorney say is the most extensive criminal investigation ever launched in the u.s. . i think the scope and scale of this investigation in these cases are really on presidents and not only in f.b.i. history but probably d.o.j. history in which essentially the capitol grounds outside and inside are essentially a crime scene. charges have already been laid against some 70 individuals and this number will increase substantially in the weeks and months ahead the department of justice says the crimes being investigated ranged from misdemeanors like trespass to conspiracy sedition and mood. mike hanna al-jazeera washington. jocelyn sage mitchell is an assistant professor at northwestern university in qatar she says is a major change in the political calculus for the republican party. although mitch

mcconnell has not made public statements about this this is indeed being reported that he is pleased about this impeachment process and that shows how different this impeachment process is from the last impeachment process that we saw we should expect a swift and bipartisan impeachment in the house today wednesday so the real question is what happens in the senate will 17 republicans join with the democrats to officially convict president trump and then subsequently they can that they can then do other things such as bar him from holding future office we should not see this as an example of moral courage by the republicans this is an example of the political calculus changing the president has lost his reelection after january 20th he has no more formal power but he is also rapidly losing his informal

power right as the past president as a figurehead in the party arguably he lost through his own self interests and his inability to help his party you lost the senate for the republicans with those 2 contested seats in georgia and then with this incitement of mob attack on the capital this is this is allowing republicans to make a political calculation that the benefits are beginning to outweigh the risks of cutting president trump out of the party and you tube has temporarily suspended donald trump channel the latest social media platform to do so after last week's capitol hill riot the company says it's also removed one of trump's videos for inciting violence civil rights close were reportedly organizing a boycott against you too if it did not take action over times channel social media giants twitter and facebook have both shut the u.s. president out and have been deleting content supporting last week's riots. in other
