Chapter [-] Successful Impeachment

According to Zhou Dongfei's secret suggestion, Stanley sat next to Strauss after returning to the venue.He advised Strauss to start immediately, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

In the end, Strauss also decided to ask the Senate Judiciary Committee to announce the launch of the final link of this impeachment now-vote!

The final vote began, presided over by the Justice of the Federal Court.Hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes around the world are staring at TVs or computers, it's so tempting!

The president came to the scene in person this time. Although he seemed calm, he must have had ups and downs.Now he is known as the head of the world's largest superpower, but once he is impeached, he will immediately be reduced to an ordinary citizen.

According to the impeachment procedure stipulated by law, one hundred senators in the Senate were mentioned by name one by one.Everyone who is mentioned by name only needs to say "guilty" or "not guilty".There are no other options, and there is no possibility of sly tricks.Support is support, opposition is opposition.

"Senator Strauss, do you think the president is guilty?" the justice asked.

"guilty!"

"Senator Stanley, do you believe the President is guilty?"

"guilty!"

"Senator Keynes, do you think the President is guilty?

"This...not guilty!"

Only if more than two-thirds of the senators make a guilty verdict, can impeachment finally stand.In other words, out of 67 senators, there need to be [-].Originally, this was a difficult number to achieve.

But this time, when the No. 90 senators were questioned, they had already got 67 guilty votes!And when all the senators have voted, the number reaches 73!

The impeachment was successful!

From this moment on, the president of the United States immediately becomes a civilian!

All power will be handed over to the vice president, and the vice president will temporarily become the new president, acting as the president!

And this time, it was actually the only time that the real impeachment was successful!There have been three impeachments in the history of the United States before, but they were all unsuccessful.The worst time was only one vote short.In other words, the current president of the United States is the most unlucky one to be impeached!

unprecedented!

There was a sigh of relief at the scene, and it seemed that there was no joy after victory.They are more just feeling that history is created in their own hands.Although they were mentally prepared from the beginning, they were still amazed by it.

At this time, the president's face was ashen.He got up slowly, first bowed deeply to the justice on the rostrum, and then bowed to the live TV camera, his voice was slow and dignified: "Unfortunately, the Senate has made such a final decision..."

Everyone is listening, including viewers in front of the TV and on the Internet.

He continued to say in a deep voice: "For such a result, I think it is unfair. I don't think the many senators present are unfair. On the contrary, I think they are representatives elected by the people. Every senator They all have upright and great hearts. The reason why we say it is unfair is because those illusory groundless accusations have affected the judgment of many senators. They have been misled by false slander. Yes, they are misleading. But, I have to accept this result, because this is the constitution, no one can be above the sacred law... To all the people who support me, I can only say sorry, I have failed your trust. Now, I will put the power Handed over to Mr. Lewis, Vice President. He is a stable and excellent statesman, and a public official of integrity and sincerity. I believe that he can lead the great America to continue to greatness."

Saying good things to Lewis now is actually working hard for his own immunity.

And the tone of all his expositions, in a word, is still justifying himself.In the final analysis, he also refused to admit the authenticity of those criminal evidences.Because as long as he pleaded guilty, even Lewis cannot use the president's immunity to excuse him.

It's sad, but also provocative.The defense team present immediately repeated the same old tune, saying that the so-called evidence broadcast by a small country in West Asia has not yet been finalized.As long as the evidence provider does not come forward, this matter can only be a historical mystery.And the reason why Mr. President was impeached is also unconvincing.

It has to be said that such a speech made by the president before leaving office really confused many people.Now he seems to be a weak person, a wronged weak person.Many people have also begun to doubt whether the so-called evidence is reliable.People's minds are very complicated. At first, they thought that challenging the president was against the powerful group, but now they gave some sympathy to the weak for this down-and-out old man.

And such a public mentality is precisely the basis of public opinion for the president to be exempted.

The defense team took the opportunity to simply propose to the Senate: a special investigation committee should be established to investigate the authenticity of the evidence!If the investigation does not yield definite results, then the Senate should apologize to the people for today's incident!

According to the Constitution, once impeached, it is a fait accompli.Even if it is a false impeachment, the current president can no longer return to office.But as long as the Senate apologizes, it immediately admits the error of impeachment, thus paving the way for the president to be exonerated.

Faced with the aggressive posture of the defense team, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee can only declare: Find the person who provided the clue as soon as possible and let him make a statement in the Senate.

Everyone felt that this was a statement of last resort.Because the person who provided clues and evidence has worked so hard and thought hard, and even went to the small country in West Asia to do this, he must be hiding his name for fear of being retaliated, so how could he come out?

The defense team also took the opportunity to attack, saying that if the person who provided the so-called evidence cannot be found within a week, the Senate should apologize!Even if the Senate does not apologize, it will not affect the immunity of the outgoing president from the successor Lewis.

In short, everyone thought that this matter had come to an end, and the final result was that the president was successfully impeached, but he would also be exonerated from ordinary criminal trials.

However, in the afternoon of the next day, a shocking news suddenly broke out in the Senate—the person who provided the evidence appeared! ! !

This news immediately attracted the attention of people all over the world.Everyone wants to know who is so bold and awesome who not only overturned the President of the United States, but even dared to stand up at this time.

In the midst of everyone's attention, a middle-aged man walked over dully.The beard is unshaven, and the vicissitudes of life are on his face.

Many senators thought they were dazzled, and at the end they all exclaimed—Haynes!

That's right, it was Haines!The former FBI director of the United States is still the most wanted criminal in the United States!This person who has been absconding for a long time unexpectedly appeared in the Senate at this time!

Stanley stood up and said loudly: "The person who provided the clues is here. Since the defense team is so eager to see him, please ask him to say a few words."

There was an uproar!But everyone finally understood, no wonder these clues are so detailed!As the director of the FBI, Haynes naturally has too many secrets.And many insiders know that Gordon has the grace to know Haines.Regarding Gordon's death, Haynes must investigate to find out the truth.

Those members of the presidential defense team were immediately dumbfounded, knowing that this time the situation was really over.They didn't even understand that providing such clues would definitely offend the terrorist forces, not to mention Haines is a fugitive, how dare he show his face!Even if his freedom is restricted, even if Strauss is in power, someone may secretly attack him during the investigation.

They are not strong men, they don't know what it means to sacrifice their lives to go to the country, and they don't know what it means to ignore death.

Haynes strode heavily and made his speech on stage.

"Dear Senators, thank you all for giving me such an opportunity. Some of you here may know me, and some may not. I, Haynes, is the former FBI who absconded on charges of treason. Director, I am not treasonous, but this is not the time to justify these things. I saw the defense team tangled up on TV yesterday and asked me to come forward. Well, I am here. And everyone should be clear, since I provided these If there is any news, then it must be more true than what others have provided.”

Indeed, the information provided by an FBI director can only be said to further affirm its authenticity.Now, there isn't even a need for investigation.The level of secrecy that a director of the FBI can grasp must be beyond ordinary people's imagination!

The defense team tried to do their best, but every time they questioned, Haines refuted it with unquestionable evidence.Every piece of incriminating evidence that was broadcast on the TV station of the small country in Western Asia was impeccably confirmed by Haines!

Immediately, those who had some sympathy for the outgoing president completely abandoned the kindness in their hearts.That's right, the outgoing president is indeed a villain, a mafia, and a conspirator!He personally killed Vice President Gordon and President Kennedy's son, and even the forces behind him personally participated in the murder of President Kennedy.

Such a treacherous person still wants to be exempted?To hell!

Since then, the chances of the outgoing president seeking immunity have all but disappeared.What awaits him will be a legal trial and a terrifying investigation!

"Is there anything else you can say? Or, what else can you use to mess around? Everyone knows right and wrong, justice and evil." Haines looked at the defense team with disdain, and then suddenly turned his head to everyone. The senators said, "I know that when I stand here, I am doomed never to be free again. Perhaps as soon as I walk out of the gates of the Senate, there will be secret police or agents to catch me. Come on, I never thought of continuing to live. If blood can wash away sins, then I would like to shed the last drop!"

After speaking, Haines didn't even say hello to Stanley, he walked off the podium defiantly and went straight out the door.There was a deathly silence in the audience, and everyone was shocked by this man's devotion to death.

If blood can wash away sins, then I would like to shed the last drop!How generous and tragic this is.

At the scene, many senators have proposed on the spot to re-examine Haynes' "treason".Because Haines was accused of this crime by the outgoing president.Now that the outgoing president has been proven to be problematic, Haynes' charges should be re-examined.

And the vast majority of people believe that Haines is very likely to be wronged.If this is the case, Haines is an admirable patriot, a hero who is not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice in pursuit of justice!

But even if the reputation is restored, so what?No one knows better than Haynes how complicated the current situation in the United States is.Even if he turns from treason to a patriot, he can't stop the assassination of the opponent's forces.
