Joe Biden began his first term as the next US leader this week. He was sworn in as 46th president of the United States by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts shortly before midday (5pm GMT) on Wednesday, January 20, outside the US Capitol. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the inauguration ceremony was scaled back with attendees and crowds “extremely limited” and face masks made mandatory.

Biden pushes for $2000 stimulus check for Americans
Fed s Powell: Rate hike no time soon There s no time to waste. We have to act and we have to act now. The message is loud and clear from US President-Elect Joe Biden, as he unveils a massive $1.9 trillion rescue plan to boost a pandemic-ravaged economy. The sweeping stimulus includes cash payments to Americans as well as money for distributing COVID-19 vaccines.
The impeachment motion would likely pass the House, given its strong support among Democrats who control the chamber. That would make Trump the only US president to be impeached twice.
Impeachment is akin to an indictment – it leads to a trial in the US Senate, which earlier this year acquitted Trump in his first impeachment over abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He was acquitted in February 2020.
A two-thirds majority is needed to convict Trump of an impeachment charge and remove him from office.
That means all 50 Democrats and at least 17 of the chamber’s 50 Republicans would have to vote to convict him. As of Sunday, only two Senate Republicans have publicly said that Trump should not serve out his term.
