D. C. delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton on Saturday asked her congressional colleagues to censure former President Trump, saying it was the only way to keep him out of the workplace after his last acquittal.
Norton, a non-voting member of the U. S. House District of Representatives, lobbied for a solution to censure Norton. Trump shortly after completing his Senate political trial.
“I strongly supported the indictment, conviction, and disqualification of former President Trump who incited an insurgency on Capitol Hill on January 6,” Norton, a Democrat, said in a statement.
“However, since the Senate acquitted him, I again ask Congress to approve my censorship solution,” Norton continued. “This is the only approach you have right now to send a bipartisan, bicameral message to the country and the global world that America is a country of law, and that’s the only way it has left to stop Trump from curbing the public workplace,” he said.
Norton first presented the solution of censoring Trump on January 11, less than a week after crowds of people disappointed by his defeat in the last presidential election broke into the U. S. Capitol.
The solution came the same day the House voted 232-197 to dismiss Trump for “serious crimes and misdemeanors” for inciting an insurgency opposed to the U. S. government.
However, since then, Trump has been convicted in the Senate, where his last political trial, his in about a year, ended this weekend with a vote of 57 to 43 and his acquittal.
Most of the Senate voted to convict Trump, but two-thirds had to convict him.
Norton’s resolution, if successful, would censure Norton. Trump “for seeking to nullify the effects of the 2020 presidential election through illegal insurrections and for inciting insurrection. “
The resolution, if passed, would claim that Trump participated in an insurgency or uprising opposed to the United States, or that he brought help or convenience to his enemies, and “is not eligible for a long-term charge” under the 14th Amendment.
Moreover, the censorship solution also requires Trump to recognize that President Biden rightly defeated him in the November election and to ask his supporters to interact with the violence.
Trump could still run for the workplace if the solution is approved by Congress; however, two-thirds of the House and Senate are expected to vote in favor of their authorization.
The censorship solution lately lists six co-authors, all Democrats: Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, Rep. Nydia Velázquez of New York, Rep. Ann Kuster of New Hampshire, Representative Andrew Carson of Indiana, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware, and Rep. Kirk Annpatrick of Arizona.
Five other people were killed in the assault on the Capitol, in addition to U. S. Capitol officer Brian D. Sicknick, Trump supporter Ashli Babbit and three others. Several officials were wounded in the mutiny.
In the past, the House had voted in favor of accusing Trump in 2019 of abuse of force and obstruction of Congress after it was revealed that his administration was withholding aid to Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. He was also acquitted this time in the Senate.
