JAKARTA - The US House of Representatives, which is controlled by the Democratic Party that supports the winner of the US Presidential Election, Joe Biden, plans to hold a vote on Monday, January 11 local time. The goal is to urge Vice President Mike Pence to take steps to remove Donald Trump from the position of US President.

This is as revealed by the Speaker of the US House of Representatives who is also a Democrat Nancy Pelosi in her letter to members on Sunday, January 10 evening local time. The US House of Representatives will seek to pass a resolution to have Pence activate the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution, saying Trump cannot fulfill his duties as US President.

If Pence is indifferent, the US House of Representatives will file impeachment against Trump. This will be history, where he will be the first president to face two impeachment attempts.

"In protecting our constitution and democracy, we will act with urgency. Because the President is a threat to both of them, "said Pelosi in the letter, reported Reuters.

"As time has passed, the horror of this ongoing attack on our democracy by the President has intensified and so has the urgent need for action," he continued.

It is known that President Donald Trump, whose term lasted less than 10 days, was threatened with a second impeachment attempt due to the rioting of his supporters at Captiol Hill on Wednesday, January 6 last week. Trump is considered to have 'set fire' to his supporters, causing a riot.

Meanwhile, after the riots on Capitol Hill, the authorities have conducted at least 25 domestic terrorism investigations. Five people died in the incident, which was sparked by Donald Trump's criticism of the outcome of the US presidential election, which was won by Joe Biden.

Donald Trump himself said he would not attend the inauguration / inauguration procession of Joe Biden as the new President of the United States (US).

"To all who ask, I will not attend the inauguration on January 20," Trump said via his Twitter account @realDonaldTrump, Friday, January 8.
