The problem this time is that Joe Trump, the former president and one of the candidates for the Democratic Party in the next presidential election, in a phone call that President Trump exchanged with Ukrainian President Zerensky in late July 2019. A request to investigate the allegations regarding Mr. Biden and his second son, Hunter Biden, director of the Ukrainian gas company Brisma. Immediately prior to the telephone conference, support for U.S. dollars of 400 million dollars (about 43 billion yen) was put on hold and is considered to be under pressure.

First of all, any committee in the House will investigate “crimes that can lead to impeachment”. An impeachment resolution is then created based on the results of the investigation and deliberated by the House Judiciary Committee. Once the resolution is passed by the House Judiciary Committee, it will be sent to the House of Representatives.

When the resolution is passed in favor, the “impeachment trial” begins in the Senate. In this impeachment trial, if more than two-thirds of the members in attendance agree, the president will be dismissed.

In the past, impeachment investigations were conducted in 1868 by Andrew Johnson (13th President), 1974 Richard Nixon (37th President), 1998 Bill Clinton (42th President). For example, President Trump is the fourth example. President Trump also asked for impeachment during the Russian alleged interference ' Russia Gate ' during the presidential election in 2016, but no investigation was conducted. In addition to the impeachment investigation by the House of Representatives, a motion for impeachment was submitted by a member of the parliament. For example, the impeachment of President George W. Bush submitted by Congressman Dennis Kusinich in 2008 there is. Although this impeachment was sent to the House Judiciary Committee, it seemed that it had not been deliberated by the Committee because it was about half a year before the president's term of office expired, and the impeachment resolution was not submitted to the House of Representatives. It was.

In addition, the composition of the US Senate as of 2019 is 45 Democrats, 2 unaffiliated, and 53 Republicans for a fixed number of 100, so in order to meet the dismissal condition of President Trump, in addition to Democrats and all unaffiliated members, More than 20 'rebels' need to come out from the Republican Party.
