Impeachment proceedings are expected to begin in the U.S. Wednesday.

On Tuesday night the House of Representatives passed a non-binding motion to get Vice-President Mike Pence and Trump’s cabinet to use the 25th Amendment to oust Trump.

Pence declined, clearing the way for the Democrats to begin the first-ever second impeachment of a sitting president.

The House will begin debating the single charge — “incitement of insurrection.”

Trump’s fiery speech at a rally just before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot is the focus of the impeachment charge against him.

Republican support for Trump seems to be floundering, though some still champion the falsehoods he spread for months about election fraud.
