Delhi off to indias top Court Postpones a hearing on the contentious to citizenship table. And rivals fear it cries and imagine to the wilds of 4th biggest carmaker. Now u. S. President on the trump could be just hours away from being written into history as only the 3rd u. S. President to be impeached its now 16 g. M. T. Thats 11 am in washington d. C. Where the u. S. House of representatives has begun a session on capitol hill to debate and then vote whether to send him to a senate trial well thats all but certain because trumps opponents in the Democratic Party have a majority in that no one chamber of Congress Ahead of the vote debate is underway right now on the 2 articles of impeachment which could last up to 6 out as im sure at the moment when procedural discussions will go to that debate shortly while in the meantime try again lashed out at the democrats describing the process as an attempt to crew.

Where hearing from both sides now and i believe thats 6 hours of debates or 3 a. As for the democrats 3 hours for the republicans and then theyll have a vote then as you say it goes to th
