Impeachment prosecution and trial process, similar to criminal prosecution and trial process
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court acts as a judge, the House of Representatives as a prosecutor, and the Senate as a jury
[앵커]
When the House of Representatives passed a bill for impeachment against President Donald Trump, it was handed over to the Senate whether to confirm the impeachment.
The U.S. Senate will go through a hearing like a court to judge whether it has been impeached, and whether the charges of inciting a civil war will be admitted or will be protected by freedom of expression is expected to be an issue.
This is a report from Washington correspondent Taewook Kang.

Trump’s impeachment bill handed over to the Senate through the House’s approval.
As the Republican Party, which is still the majority party, has said that it convenes the Senate on the 19th, the hearing in earnest is bound to take place after the new administration.
The Senate judgment proceeds like a trial.
The Chief Justice is presided over as a judge, with the House as prosecutor and the Senate as a jury.
The outlook is that it is difficult because a quorum of two-thirds is required for impeachment and approval, and the Republican Party must have at least 17 seats of rebellion votes.

However, Mr. Mitch McConnell has become the most important variable since he has recently been negative with President Trump.
The question is whether charges of inciting civil war are admitted.
President Trump is highly likely to argue that his speech, accused of agitation, corresponds to the freedom of expression protected by the First Amendment.
Because of this, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has raised the interpretation of Supreme Court cases that limit freedom of expression.

Also, whether impeachment of the retired president is possible is an issue.
The opinion that the judgment on the impeachment of the retired president is constitutional is prevailing, and the judgment is expected to proceed.
