Trump's Impeachment Is Considered To Worsen The Situation, Biden Is Sent To Pelosi To Stop Impeachment

JAKARTA - Republican member Ken Buck wrote a letter to the president-elect of the United States (US) Joe Biden officially. Buck wants Biden to ask Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to stop the impeachment attempt by President Donald Trump. The letter was also signed by six other Republican members.

Other signatures on the letter sent to Biden were on behalf of Chip Roy from Texas, Thomas Massie from Kentucky, Kelly Armstrong from North Dakota, Tom McClintock from California, Mike Gallagher from Wisconsin and Nancy Mace from South Carolina.

"In a spirit of healing and loyalty to our constitution, we ask that you formally request Chairman Nancy Pelosi to stop her efforts to indict President Donald J. Trump a second time," Ken Buck said in the letter.

Quoting Bloomberg, Pelosi threatened to allow the impeachment process to begin. Maybe as early as today, Monday, January 11, 2021. He will only stop the impeachment process if Trump is willing to resign after the uprising in the US Capitol Building.

Many members of Congress in both parties have blamed Trump for the violence. Trump is considered to have instigated his supporters to head to the Capitol in order to protest against Congress, which was counting the electoral college votes. Trump also urged his supporters to line up on the Capitol in a defiant speech.

But Republican lawmakers say that "the impeachment of the president should not take place in the heat, but after major deliberations."

Impeachment will undermine the priorities for unifying Americans. Impeachment also has the potential to be further disruption to the US nation "at a time when millions of our citizens are injured by the pandemic and a crashing economy."

Biden said in a press conference on Friday, January 8 that he left it up to congress to decide whether to impeach Trump or not. But the fastest way to remove the president is by being inaugurated on January 20.

Biden said he wanted Congress ready on the day he was sworn in. Representative from California, Ted Lieu, said more than 180 Democrats in the House of Representatives had signed the impeachment clause that will take effect on Monday.

The article was provided on the charge that Trump should be removed from office for inciting rebellion. But Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said in that it would require the unanimous approval of all one hundred senators to start trials before January 19, the day before Trump leaves the presidency.

This he conveyed in a letter to his colleagues. Some Republican senators, however, said the president deserved to be removed. Punishing Trump after he leaves office could prevent him from running for president again.

Before his account was suspended, Trump announced on Twitter that he would not be attending Joe Biden's inauguration. Meanwhile, according to a source, Vice President Mike Pence will attend the inauguration. Biden said he was glad Pence would attend.

"He's welcome. I think it's important that as long as we stick to what has set historical precedents for how administrative change should be sustained. So Mike, the vice president, is welcome to come. We will be honored to have him there, and to move forward in this transition, "said Biden.
