And they are i think you so much for your Company Everyone democrats in the United States have taken a major step forward in their efforts to impeach President Donald Trump the house of representatives has voted to formalize the impeachment investigation all this sets the ground rules lawmakers will use as they transition from closed door sessions to public hearings the inquiry focuses on a telephone call made in july in which trump asked ukrainian president Volodymyr Selenski to investigate Democratic Political rival joe biden. All right want to get you the latest on this all important vote the Washington Bureau chief alexander the nominee is standing by alexandra a pivotal vote what happens now so now the impeachment inquiry is answering to totally new phase and in about 10 days there will be public hearings on capitol hill where both sites the democrats and republicans will be able to invite witnesses to question witnesses to each shoot subpoenas and this is very important because them for the very 1st time the public the American People will be able to see for themselves what defects are and then eventually we may see a vote on the floor democrats are saying that to decision has not been made to now but its unlikely that you are going to see a vote on the floor to impeach president on the trump well just ahead of the vote alexander the speaker of the house and in simple as he described the impeachment process as defending democracy lets take a listen to what he said exactly this constitution is the blueprint for a republic and not a monarchy but willingly have a president who says article 2 says i can do whatever i want that is in defiance of the separation of powers thats not what our constitution says so what is it stay is our democracy. The speaker of the house nancy pelosi suggesting that President Trump has been acting more like a monarch then president how has the president reacted to this vote and how much does this vote put a stain on his presidency. President took to twitter immediately after the vote saying that this is the greatest witch hunt in American History and his press secretary issued a statement condemning the resolution in the house of representatives and saying that what the democrats are doing is unconstitutional is. Fundamentally american however we have to add to that it was actually the white house that demanded a formal vote to on the impeachment inquiry so actually the white house got what they wanted. In conclusion xandra the proceedings now move forward how transparent will the be for the public well the democrats the House Majority there are saying that there will be as transparent as only possible so both sides as i said will be able to question witnesses to issue subpoenas and the president will be granted privileges and try its the white House Counsel can be present during the whole proceedings but the republicans have been criticizing the whole process however and now with the beginning of the top of the phase of the impeachment inquiry they now have to focus on the facts on the witnesses and not any more on the process itself these are Washington Bureau chief alexander thank you.
