Well felicity we are hearing appellate of opinions from those who are saying that the president is morally unfit to govern many. Lawmakers say that he is he should have an ethical behavior in order to continue in the presidency and others who are saying that he should be investigated that he should be investigated once he finishes his government in july of next year which is what should happen in any case the president can be investigated after that. But many of those who are now saying that he should be investigated after he finishes his government our lawmakers who voted in favor of passing the motion for the impeachment so many of things have been happening in the middle. Make that. The president s argument for the lawmakers who want to vote against the president to be deflated the core of the argument of the legal argument for the precedence for the president by his lawyer this morning he said that the. President cant be punished for acts that have not been yet corroborated now we are now it is likely that there will be a vote today we still dont know were still unsure but we already know that some of the parties have already said how they will be voting and only there are 28. 00 lawmakers in favor of the impeachment. They need 87. 00 votes to impeach the president 59. 00 are needed and there are already 80 is 68. 00 against so it is likely that the president of the discovery will not be unseated today but hes image of course will be very weakened after this impeachment proceedings today and i know its unlikely marianna but if he is removed what would happen after the dots. Well if he is rule if he is removed he would have to be. His case passed on to the judiciary he would be investigated anyway and the president of congress would take over there are no Vice President s because a Vice President resigned a few months ago the president of congress will take over he is one he is the main person who the main politician who has moved forward this impeachment proceedings he would be the next president for the next 7 months he would have to call for elections which have been called already by the president and he would be the person who would be in charge of the government in in a very very difficult time felicity because peru is undergoing. With 30000 people dead with a pandemic and Economic Situation in shambles so thats the situation for the country right now in lima thank you or polling day is still more than 6 weeks away but in 4 u.

Second join us now from a polling station in arlington and chip just how much enthusiasm is there for this early way of voting. Here in virginia were getting reports of long lines at polling stations around the state on this for us to 45 days in virginia of early voting we just got some figures in for this particular polling station on the 1st day of early voting in 2016 in the 26 you know election 279 people showed up to cost. In the 1st hour of todays session of early voting 200 people turned up so that gives you a sense of the enthusiasm here this is been a steady stream of people coming in they have 45 days but they coming in and whats fascinating is this is one of the states which was warned by the Postal Service that i might be problems that actually ballots may not be counted because of not only the volume but because of the operational changes that have been instituted by doldrums postmaster general which of effectively slowed down the amount and that seems to about a big effect a lot of people who refuse requested mail in ballots and those a Record Number here in virginia 790000 people have decided to come in person anyway just to make sure that their votes count not least also because of what donald trump has been saying that he doesnt even believe in the validity of mail and ballots but heres a sense of some of what weve been hearing this morning. Powers warrant that the. Mail in ballots might not that theyre going to make sure my vote is counted confirmed from an. Amazing day. Yet an area that im concerned that there might be prouder than election day so ill take a. Rest. But i think that theres efforts to undermine it i think theres a lot of. Defacing trying to be so uncertain sides and so. I think voting early will just help us feel more secure about that i guess redig make sure its in there. The recent poll suggests almost halls of by voters around the country in terms of vote by mail just 110th of trump voters intend to vote by mail in politics thought because of the seriousness and with which they take the pandemic and thats why they some are saying well thats where double trump is attacking mail in voting and thats one reason why democrats are going to say look you may have thought that you were going to vote by mail but perhaps it wasnt to and to make as little confusion as possible on Election Night but on a mosque come in and vote early so that only Election Night while the mail in ballots are being counted the results are completely skewed towards skewed towards those who actually came in to vote for the old she happened thank you.
