Trump State of Union Speech Will Occur Just Ahead of Senate Impeachment Vote
(Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening is to make his annual State of the Union speech, accepting an invitation from the House of Representatives that recently impeached him.
Senators are scheduled to vote Wednesday on whether to convict Trump and remove him from office. It is virtually certain they will acquit him on the charges of abuse of power and obstruction of justice, because his Republican Party holds a majority in the Senate, where a two-thirds vote would be needed for conviction and removal.
“It’s unprecedented in our nation’s history to have a State of the Union address from an impeached president running for re-election,” noted University of Akron political science professor David Cohen. “These events read like political thriller fiction, except they’re actually happening.” [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
