Situation Room

---

U.S. Democrats have opened a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump in The Wake of new revelations about The President , contacts with Ukraine by an internal whistleblower.

We have a sample of your questions were answered to The Situation , and added two of their own (indicated by *).

? the indictment alone on this Problem or is it likely to be a portfolio of 'crime' Six house committees are currently The President , and the collection of evidence in connection with the impeachable offenses.

The judiciary Committee to finally decide to vote which and how Many articles of impeachment, which it Will present to the whole house.

But speaker of The House of representatives Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats have reportedly agreed on, the focus on the Ukraine allegations.

you Can accuse The House , But it does not go to The Senate ? In a word, unlikely.

to Remove a U.S. President from office, is a two-step process. The House begins the impeachment process - in effect, about the fees, But The Senate holds The Trial .

If The House votes articles of impeachment, which means nothing less than a simple majority, it fails.

If there is a majority of The President accused of, and The Process moves to The Senate for a trial, where a selected group of house members to present the case for removal, The President 's lawyers to offer to sit their defence, and senators, as a De Facto jury.

It would take two-thirds of The Senate to take the vote to condemn trump be removed from the office.

In theory, Senate majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell to play hardball and could refuse a timetable for the vote, or to delay it, in the same way, as he sat on the Supreme Court of the vacancy for almost a year, until after the Election in 2016.

The relevant passage in the US Constitution States that The Senate "have the sole right to try all Impeachments". It says nothing about timelines, or even that a trial is mandatory. That Mr. McConnell, who has shown a willingness to controversial decisions, to achieve their political goals, some game room.

said, But on Friday, Mr McConnell, he would not be in the way to a trial.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has according to reports, the prosecution asked to focus the investigation on the Ukraine prosecution is unlikely. What house do to win the Democrats have in this situation? It was a considerable amount of internal debate among Democrats before This Week , if you would, politically, impeachment is a winning issue for you. Some of them, like the speaker of The House of representatives Nancy Pelosi , was concerned that a law enforcement to rally the Republican base, and frustration were moderated by control, who wants Congress to focus on policy issues.

Impeachment advocates counter that the purpose of a formal impeachment investigation is the shift of Public Opinion , and, while The Public may not be on Board now, you could be convinced once The Evidence is collected and presented in a compelling way.

What's more, there are Many Democrats, as the impeachment as a moral duty. In their view, The President has broken The Law and violated his presidential oath. In order not to make an attempt to remove him from office would have the tacit approval to his actions, give and encourage more violations.

time Can Trump a prior legal Action and prison if the allegations are proved? Fines or jail time "for crimes in office are left to civil courts," according to The House of representatives.

So, The Answer is Yes, he could, But an impeachment conviction by the Congress does not mean that a conviction in The Criminal sense.

The President has a few more legal problems in terms of his presidency, family and company making their way through the courts.

If Trump is far, But Penny is also involved, what happens then? The Line of succession for the U.S. Government , as the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, if The President and the vice-President is removed:

speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi ) President Pro Tempore, the second-highest official in The Senate (Chuck Grassley ) Secretary of State (Mike Pompeo ) to the Secretary of the Treasury (Steve Mnuchin) Is what trump has with Ukraine, what did the Democrats there? *During his UN press conference on Wednesday, Donald Trump claims that Chris Murphy and other Senate Democrats, had the contact with the Ukrainian officials, were The Ones who were engaging in nefarious acts.

The President said that in 2018, letter from senators Robert Menendez, Richard Durbin and Patrick Leahy and September included 2019 visit of Mr. Murphy all the threats aid for the people of cut off, and demanded that the Ukrainian Government is not cooperation with the trump administration.

The year 2018, letter to then-state's attorney Yuriy Lutsenko "concern" that the Ukrainian Government is no longer the collaboration with Robert Muller, Russia is the interference request and secure from its own investigation into the former trump-campaign-chair of Paul Manafort , who had significant dealings with The Nation . The Senators asked for more Information , But the letters did not threaten the termination of US aid.

Mr Murphy says during his recent visit to Ukraine, he said: "Mr Zelensky that he would take orders from Trump's campaign" or to interfere in the 2020 Election and the Ukrainian President expressed discomfort with the requests he received from the Trump administration.

this differs from what Mr Trump has? Only Mr Trump's demands for a "favor" were accompanied by measures - the suspension of U.S. aid.

What is Biden exactly did his son do? Mr Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani accuses Joe Biden to force you to try, from the Ukrainian Prosecutor Viktor Shokin in 2016, while Joe Biden was the U.S. Vice-President.

Mr Shokin was looking in a Ukrainian gas company, where Biden, whose son, Hunter, was a member of the Board.

is The President claims Mr Biden withheld from US to protect aid to Ukraine, his son and The Company Burisma.

But no evidence is brought to light, the show traded Biden bribes or work in the Ukraine was influenced by his son.

Biden was not the only public officials in the United States or the European Union , wanted Mr Shokin displaced.

However, critics believe that at least the Biden Family Ties increase in Ukraine, The Perception of a possible conflict of interest.

How Many phone calls were there? The 30-minute interview on may 25. July was a Call to write The First publically acknowledged The Phone conversation between the American and Ukrainian leaders, according to a 21 April birthday, when Zelensky won The Presidency .

when you hear The President make phone calls to know what was said? US media reports that some White house officials are usually present to hear, in presidential elections, calls.

These people can not make it physically in The Room with The President , But they are listening and taking notes.

The chief of staff of the White house, defense, and foreign Ministry staff and National Security Council members are among those who may be listening in to any calls with foreign heads of state and Government .

There are also non-partisan career-employees, to monitor the National Security experience to the Situation Room .

In this case, the referred the whistleblower complaints to the fact that there are "about a dozen White house officials, of the conversation heard - a mix of politics, officers and duty officers in the White House Situation Room , as usual", although it is unclear whether someone actually in The Room with Mr. Trump.

Can withhold the White house, such copies? Executive Privilege - a power that is not explicitly mentioned in The Constitution , But supported by the Supreme Court - The President 's allowed in order to provide Information from The Public , the courts and the Congress when It Comes to the National Security or Diplomacy .

the Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire Will be Sworn In before the testimony of the whistleblower complaint, If it is a copy, to the Ukraine, the whistleblower complaint, it is that it was laid is, in a National Security Council computer system normally used only for Sensitive intelligence Information that some officials are likely to be affected were, is an abuse of The System .

It was also apparently "not for the First Time ," this Government had done this, with a President, the transcript, the complaint States, "for the protection of politically Sensitive - rather than National Security -Sensitive Information ".

Has the White house try to cover up the details of the trump Zelensky Call ? *A new disclosure whistleblower lawsuit were allegations that, after Mr. Trump, the conversation with Mr Zelensky, the White house took steps to conceal - "Lock down" The Records of the conversation.

This included the removal of the rough copy from the computer system, where such Information is usually kept, and place it in a different, more controlled situation.
