Just one day before the riots turned into armed rebellion, the U.S. Senate convened an impeachment trial of the president presided over by the justice in advance.
The House of Representatives impeached the president of Ladakh on two counts. He knew that he was threatened to endanger the national security of the United States, but failed to report the crime. He was suspected of instigating the murder of the former president.
The presidential palace formed a defense team and launched a fierce debate with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Keizer and others.
After the judges composed of 100 members of the Senate heard the entire process, the chief justice of the Supreme Court asked the senators by name.
Senators can only answer "guilty" or "not guilty". As long as two-thirds of the senators find "guilty", the president will be impeached and the vice president will take over.
Since President Ladakh has just been promoted as Vice President (and President of the Senate), after he is impeached, Speaker of the House of Representatives Lanster will take over as President.
In other words, the remaining term of this president will fall into the hands of the opposition Donkey Party, which can be called a major earthquake in the political world.
However, because the ruling Elephant Party holds the majority of seats in the Senate, and the Elephant Party also holds the majority of these 100 members, in principle the probability of Ladakh being successfully impeached is extremely low.
"Of the two charges against the president this time, he is not guilty of murdering the former president!"
“This time, the two charges against the president were found guilty of failure to report knowledge!”
Nothing is absolute. When the result was announced from the mouth of the chief judge, the whole audience was shocked.
In the impeachment case, as long as there is a conviction, it means that the President of Ladakh has been successfully impeached!
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Keizer. Sure enough, it seemed like an inconspicuous charge. Under so many evidences, even members of the same party as Ladakh could not say the word "not guilty" in public.
.
He looked at the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Lanster, on the other side. The two looked at each other silently, and everything fell into their calculations.
Of course, what the two don't know is what kind of chaos they will face.
In the afternoon of that day, the President of Ladakh and his family had already moved out of the presidential palace sadly. He really did not expect that his colleagues in the party would think that he was guilty.
Is there water in their brains?
Because the incident happened suddenly, Ladakh was completely unprepared.
Lanster has already conducted a preliminary handover with him and is convening an emergency meeting to form a new presidential team.
Tomorrow, new cabinet appointments should be announced at the inauguration ceremony.
Ladak, who returned to his original residence, was still thinking about what went wrong when he was shocked by the words of Curtis and Caesar who came later.
"What did you say? Do you suspect those congressmen are being controlled?"
Caesar nodded and said: "Yes, there is no complete evidence from GIA at present, but I know that among the 100 members of the Senate, there are 78 from our party and only 22 from the Donkey Party.
But 45 of these 78 people had attended a business tycoon’s birthday dinner a week ago.”
Radak asked: "What's so special about this birthday dinner?"
"The special thing is that Keizer also attended that night. Keizer was seen talking to all these senators."
Ladak frowned and said: "Who is this business tycoon? How can he let members of both parties attend his birthday dinner?
However, even if Keizer has talked with these people, it doesn’t mean that Keizer has controlled these people, right?”
Curtis snorted coldly and said: "If anything is too coincidental, it can only be a conspiracy. Are you going to give up just like that?"
Curtis did not want Radak to give up. After all, he could face charges from the Department of Justice. Without Radak's support on stage, he would most likely be found guilty.
Who asked the other party to produce evidence of his meeting with members of the Black Helmets organization? This evidence basically made it difficult for him to clear his relationship with the assassination of the former president.
Caesar said: "This business tycoon is an important member of the DuPont family and has good relationships with many important figures in both parties."
Ladakh knew why Curtis was anxious. His position as president was gone, and it would undoubtedly be very difficult to make a comeback.
After hearing Caesar say that the business tycoon was a member of the DuPont family, he felt vaguely that there might be some conspiracy.
"Curtis, the evidence Caesar mentioned is not enough to immediately change the status quo, but as time goes by, the possibility of me returning to that position will be very small. Even if the case is overturned in the future, it will be too late."
Curtis's eyes flashed fiercely and he said: "In that case, we should fight these guys to the death! Your crime of knowing and not reporting may be brought to justice. Do you really sit back and wait to be killed?"
Radak's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the two of them. The three of them had already become a trinity because of the Almighty Lord's affairs. If Curtis did anything, he might be involved.
"how do you want to do it?"
Curtis said: "I plan to ask Musk's artificial intelligence to help, maybe I can find some direct evidence."
Ladak's expression changed and he said: "Are you planning to let it enter the network? What if it is not under our control?"
Caesar suddenly said: "Didn't you ask for the nuclear bomb to be placed in that machine room before? You probably didn't hand over the nuclear bomb's password to Lanster, right?"
Ladak was stunned and said: "I really forgot to hand over the password for this nuclear bomb."
Caesar said: “As long as we find evidence that AI can find evidence that they cheated in the impeachment case, we can still make a comeback.
You are our leader, and we need your wisdom to guide us."
Radak hesitated and said: "But what if the artificial intelligence cannot find strong evidence?"
Curtis said coldly: "Then separate the families!"
Radak was stunned. Curtis' words were like thunder, shocking him.
Caesar said at the right time: "I am confident that GIA will obey your command, and I believe we can gather a group of Elephant Party members.
Of course, the most important thing is that if we have artificial intelligence, we can attract the support of those three big guys, and maybe you will be the second Lin Ken."
Curtis also immediately expressed his position and said: "I can guarantee that the military will be on your side."
Ladak's mind started to struggle fiercely. He had just tasted the taste of supreme power, and it didn't take long before someone used conspiracy to bring him down. This made him very unwilling.
Speaking of which, because of the political system of separation of powers in the United States, there has been no military coup since the founding of the country.
There are several reasons. First, the standing management of the U.S. military belongs to the civilian Department of Defense, and the commander-in-chief is the president. During wartime, the president appoints frontline commanders. The command power lies with the government and not with the military. The president cannot coup himself.
Secondly, the military is neutral. Neither the two political parties in the United States can establish organizations in the military. Soldiers cannot ask for political advice, and they cannot join the military if they ask for political advice.
Third, the military is self-contained and does not overlap with local political power, so there is no way to ask questions about politics. The U.S. political system is that the president, governor, and mayor are all elected by the people. Military coups, governments at all levels will not listen to you, and even states
The National Guard can be used to fight back.
Fourth, soldiers have legal channels to participate in politics. As long as they take off their military uniforms, they can run for president, such as Enenhower and Powell.
However, the current situation of the three people in Ladakh makes these aspects untenable.
Ladakh has just been ousted from the position of president, and there is still some residual heat to be exerted, which is equivalent to the president's own coup.
General Curtis is the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he has a certain passion for political affairs. Because of the control of the Almighty Lord, he has made a lot of preparations in the army in advance to ensure that the army listens to him.
As for the question of whether governments at all levels will obey, GIA's Caesar used artificial intelligence to produce evidence of fraud in the Donkey Party's impeachment of the president. I believe that state governments will support Ladakh with force.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that this small group can really achieve the first military coup in the history of the United States.
Seeing Ladak's silence, Curtis couldn't help but urge again.
"Sir, tonight is the last time. If we don't make decisions and take action tonight, it will be difficult to change everything after Lanster delivers his inaugural speech tomorrow."
