This is VOA news. Via remote, I'm Liz Parker. U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi spoke1 to lawmakers Sunday about the efforts to remove President Donald Trump2 from office. The speaker said the House would first vote on a resolution this week, calling on Vice3 President Mike Pence and the cabinet to invoke4 the 25th Amendment5. If not, the House will move toward impeachment6. The House is set to vote on Monday or Tuesday on a resolution urging the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which allows the vice president and the cabinet to remove the president if he is unable to discharge his official duties. Pelosi added that (after the House) after that the House "will proceed with bringing impeachment legislation to the floor.” The opposition7 Democrats8 say President Trump should be held accountable after last week's violence at the U.S. Capitol. Wednesday's lawlessness came after President Trump spoke at a rally of his supporters where he encouraged to head to the Capitol in a futile9 effort to block Congress from certifying10 the Electoral College in favor of President-elect Joe Biden. Five people died, including a Capitol Hill police officer who was involved in a scuffle with protesters.

欢迎收听美国之音新闻。我是利兹·帕克，为您带来远程报道。美国众议院议长佩洛西星期天对议员们谈到了罢免总统特朗普。佩洛西表示，众议院本周将首先就一项决议进行表决，呼吁副总统彭斯和内阁援引宪法第25条修正案。否则，众议院将进行弹劾。众议院拟于周一或周二就敦促美国宪法第25修正案的决议，该修正案允许副总统和内阁在总统被判定无法行使其职权和职责时罢免其职务。佩洛西补充说，此后，众议院“将继续把弹劾立法提上议事日程”反对党民主党人称，特朗普总统应该对上周美国国会发生的暴力事件负责。上周三的违法事件发生之前，特朗普总统在集会上对他的支持者发表讲话，他鼓励这些支持者前往国会大厦，徒劳地阻止国会批准当选总统拜登的选举团认证胜利。此次暴力事件造成五人死亡，其中包括一名与抗议者扭打的国会山警察。
