第二次彈劾特朗普案如何展開？這七件事你需要知道

當地時間2月9日，美國國會參議院正式開始審理特朗普彈劾案。

前總統唐納德·特朗普受到民主黨指控，稱其煽動了1月6日美國國會暴亂事件，造成5人死亡。

1月13日，衆議院已表決通過針對特朗普的彈劾條款，正式指控他犯有“煽動叛亂”的嚴重罪行和不檢行爲，並在1月25日向參議院提交了相關條款。

值得一提的是，特朗普還“創造了歷史”，他是美國曆史上首位兩次遭到衆議院彈劾的總統，同時也是首位遭到彈劾的前總統。

2019年12月，衆議院以濫用職權、妨礙國會兩項罪名對特朗普提出彈劾。2020年2月，參議院在此次彈劾案中宣佈特朗普無罪。

第二次彈劾將於當地時間2月9日下午13:00開始，預計將持續一週。

The first ever impeachment of a former president began today in the U.S. Senate.

Former President Donald Trump faces charges of inciting an insurrection in the Jan. 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol building that resulted in five deaths.

Trump also made history for being the only person to be impeached by the House of Representatives twice for "high crimes and misdemeanors".

In 2019, Trump was acquitted by the Senate in his first impeachment after the House voted to impeach him for pressuring Ukraine to find dirt on Biden.

The proceedings for the second impeachment began at 1 p.m. and is expected to last a week.

二次彈劾案審理流程怎麼走？

參議院聽取的第一個問題是，這一審判是否符合美國憲法。

衆議院彈劾經理人認爲，特朗普在暴徒佔領國會大廈之前發表的演講，唆使暴徒打斷了選舉人投票的認證。

他們還提出，前總統幕僚也可能面臨彈劾，還爲此援引了1876年對前戰爭部長威廉·貝爾納普的審判，貝爾納普在被彈劾數小時前辭職。

然而，特朗普的律師辯稱，由於特朗普已經卸任，審判並沒有依據，並要求參議院駁回此案。

律師還認爲，特朗普的言論受到美國憲法第一修正案中有關言論自由權的保護。

經過4小時的辯論，最終投票結果爲56票贊成，44票反對。參議院按照少數服從多數的原則，進入“開庭辯論”流程。

The first issue the Senate hear was whether the trial is legal under the U.S. Constitution.

Democratic impeachment managers argued that the speech Trump gave just before the mob took over the Capitol spurred the rioters to interrupt the certification of electoral college votes.

They will also argue that former politicians can face an impeachment trial, citing the 1876 trial of former secretary of war William Belknap who resigned hours before he was impeached.

Trump's lawyers argued that there is no basis for a trial since Trump is no longer in office and asked senators to dismiss the case.

His lawyers also argued Trump's words were protected by the First Amendment right to free speech.

After four hours of presentations, the senate voted 56-44 that there are Constitutional grounds to continue the trial.

二次彈劾案審理如何展開？

衆議院彈劾經理人和特朗普律師團隊在兩天時間內將各自有16小時來陳述己方觀點，但當天審理時間最多不超過8小時。

民主黨的衆議院彈劾經理人將首先開始陳述，特朗普的律師將於當地時間本週五開始辯論，此次審理將一直持續到週末。

參議員有權提出質疑，但目前爲止還沒有證人被傳訊，儘管民主黨人可以要求參議院投票決定是否傳喚證人。他們要求特朗普本人出庭作證，但被拒絕。

主持審判的是佛蒙特州的聯邦參議員帕特里克·萊希，他是多數黨中任職時間最長的成員。

彈劾案審理通常由美國首席大法官主持，但由於特朗普已經卸任，現任首席大法官約翰·羅伯茨此次沒有主持審理。

Democrats and Republicans will each get 16 hours to present their case, with a maximum of eight hours per day.

The Democratic House Managers will begin first and Trump's lawyers will likely begin on Friday and go into the weekend.

Senators will be able to ask questions but so far no witnesses have been named, though Democrats can ask the Senate to vote on whether to call witnesses. They requested that Trump testify, but he declined.

The trial's presiding officer is Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont who is the longest-serving member of the majority party. Typically the chief justice of the United States presides in impeachments, but Justice John Roberts will not take up the gavel since Trump is no longer in office.

定罪“幾乎不可能”

在所有辯論和提問之後，參議員們將作爲陪審員，投票決定特朗普是否有罪。

給特朗普定罪，必須有三分之二的參議員投贊成票。定罪門檻高達67票，這意味着在參議院擁有50個席位的民主黨必須說服至少17名共和黨參議員投票支持他們——這種“大面積倒戈”的可能性很小。

如果特朗普被判有罪，參議院就可以投票禁止他再次擔任總統。

After all arguments and questioning, the senators, acting as jurors, will each stand and cast a vote of guilty or not guilty.

Two-thirds of the senators present must vote guilty in order to convict Trump. That means Democrats need at least 67 votes and must convince at least 17 Republican senators to vote their way - an unlikely outcome.

On the off chance that Trump is convicted, the Senate can then vote to bar him from ever holding office again.
