On January 20, US President-elect Joe Biden will be officially invested. On the same date, his predecessor, Donald Trump, will leave the White House after four years of a chaotic mandate.
Within ten days of this deadline, many voices are raised to remove the Republican from office.

In parallel, the opposition wants to approve, on Tuesday evening, a resolution urging the vice-president, Mike Pence, to invoke the 25e amendment of the Constitution, declaring him, with the support of his principal ministers, unfit to perform his duties.
