The House of Representatives served President Donald Trump
with impeachment on December 18, 2019. And within a week, the world is abuzz
with contrasting views from people of different walks of life.
One such debate between the Americans is the role of the
senators during the impeachment process. During President Trump’s trial, only
three Democrats voted against the impeachment while all the Republicans
remained in favor. This reflected on the political polarization of the nation –
thus many Americans emphasized the need to remain impartial during such
trials in the future.
Regarding the scenario, YouGov
conducted a survey of over 4,000 people, who were asked the importance of impartiality
during impeachment trials. Around 71% of the surveyed Americans said that it is
‘very important’ for the senators to give their unbiased views during such
processes.
After Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, President Donald
Trump became the third U.S. president to be impeached. After the trial, he
accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of giving the most unfair trial in the
history of the U.S. Congress.
