An “exhilarated” McConnell raised the possibility of removing Trump from office using the ການປັບປຸງ 25th, which allows the vice president and a majority of Congress to declare the president “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,” immediately making the vice president acting president, the ຕອບວໍຊິງຕັນ quoted quote ນີ້ຈະບໍ່ຜ່ານ ເປັນວ່າ.
480 ໜ້າ ຫນັງສື, which was authored by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, claims to bring together hundreds of interviews, recordings and unseen documents to offer an unfettered look at how Republican leaders responded to the 2020 election, Trump’s false claims of voter fraud and the Capitol riot.
