Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 1 only
The correct answer is 1 only. - Donald John Trump is an American media personality and businessman who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Hence statement 2 is incorrect.
- He was the first U.S. president without prior military or government service.
- Donald Trump has become the first President of the USA in history to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives. Hence statement 1 is correct.
- He was charged for inciting an insurrection
- Reasons for Impeachment:
- The USA Constitution states that the President can be removed for conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanour.
- On 6th January 2021, as the USA Congress assembled to certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory, a mob of Donald Trump supporters occupied the USA Capitol in a failed bid to overturn the election results.
- Mechanism of Impeachment of President in USA:
- Two Houses: The legislature of the United States of America i.e. Congress of the United States consists of two houses:
- The Senate, in which each state, regardless of its size, is represented by two senators.
- House of Representatives, to which members are elected on the basis of population.
- Reasons for Impeachment: The USA Constitution states that the President can be removed for conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanor.
- Earlier Impeachments:
- Three USA Presidents, Trump in 2019, Bill Clinton in 1998, and Andrew Johnson in 1868, previously were impeached by the House but acquitted by the Senate.
- Thus, no USA President ever has been removed from office through impeachment.
