The US House of Representatives approves a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence to convene and mobilize the cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment and declare President Donald Trump incapable of executing the duties of his office and remove him from power. IMAGES
President Donald Trump said Tuesday there is "zero" chance of him being forced from office by his government under invocation of the 25th Amendment. "The 25th amendment is of zero risk to me," Trump said in Alamo, Texas, in reference to pressure by Democrats on Vice President Mike Pence to remove Trump through the almost never used constitutional measure. Trump warned, without further explanation, that the amendment "will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration. As the expression goes, be careful what you wish for."
Impeachment ahead, the House on Tuesday will first try to convince the vice president and Cabinet to act even more quickly to remove President Donald Trump from office, warning he is a threat to democracy in the remaining days of his presidency. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Philip Turle tells us more.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) lambasted President Donald Trump before Congress on Wednesday after the riots at the US Capitol. When it comes to accountability, the president needs to understand that his actions were the problem, not the solution. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham Business Insider reports Graham said he was 'embarrassed and disgusted' by Wednesday's breach, saying the 'domestic terrorists' need to be prosecuted. Thursday, he slammed Trump's legal team for pushing false claims about the election after President-elect Joe Biden was declared the winner. Nevertheless, Business Insider reports Graham said he doesn't believe invoking the 25th Amendment is 'appropriate at this point.'
Attorney Lin Wood tweeted on Friday that Vice President Mike Pence should be arrested for treason and executed by firing squad. The staunch supporter of President Donald Trump also blamed Chief Justice John Roberts and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the election results. According to Business Insider, Wood's remarks triggered some Republicans to issue tweets to distance themselves from him. Among them were Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis, and the conservative high school student Nicholas Sandmann. In recent weeks, Wood has filed or joined lawsuits to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. Wood has also cited conspiracy theories in the past.
Jusque-là, seules les discothèques et les épiceries de nuit devaient proposer des éthylotests à leurs clients. Cette obligation va bientôt s'étendre à tous les magasins qui vendent de l'alcool. Mais Julien Chivé, caviste bordelais, n'est pas vraiment convaincu. "Je trouve que ça ne sert pas à grand-chose. Les gens savent bien qu'après deux verres, il faut s'arrêter si on veut reprendre la voiture. Et les clients rencontrés ce jeudi matin ne voient pas non plus l'intérêt d'en acheter. "Ca me semble absurde", lance l'un d'eux. "De toute façon, après deux verres, on sera positif, donc c'est à chacun de se gérer", explique un autre.Dans l'épicerie de Virgine Matheron, à Talence (Gironde), il est difficile de trouver une place pour les éthylotests. La gérante doit enlever des produits et envisage surtout des coûts supplémentaires. En effet, dans le supermarché Carrefour City, qui en commercialise depuis un an, ces produits ne sont pas très populaires. "On en a vendu trois en un an", confie le gérant. Près de 50 000 commerçants devraient proposer des éthylotests à partir du 1er juillet, sous peine d'une amende de 675 euros.
