  • The three Democrats joined Republicans in voting against one or both impeachment articles. 21

  • The House is controlled by Democrats. 22

  • The Senate is controlled by Republicans, and political analysts expect the Senate to find the president not guilty, allowing him to remain in office. 23

  • First, though, the Senate has to hold its trial, and the Senate majority leader says that'll likely pick up steam on January 20 1st Article one is adopted in our nation's history. 24

  • Over a century later, in 1999 the Senate tried President Bill Clinton on articles of impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice. 28

  • The Senate acquitted Clinton on both counts. 29

  • So how does this work? 30

  • The U. 31

  • S. 32

  • Constitution lays out the impeachment process. 33

  • The House of Representatives holds hearings to decide whether or not to impeach. 34

  • If a simple majority of the House votes to impeach, the case goes to the Senate for a full impeachment trial. 35

  • Well, we call the Senate proceedings trials. 36

  • They actually are very different from the typical criminal trial in five key waits. 37

  • First, the jury in the Senate impeachment trial All 100 U. 38

  • S. 39

  • Senators serve as jurors, and unlike a criminal case, they don't need a unanimous decision. 40

  • Second, the burden of proof In a criminal trial, the prosecutor must prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. 45

  • That is the highest burden of proof known to our legal system. 46

  • But in the Senate impeachment trial, there is no such requirement. 47

  • It's up to each individual senator to determine how much evidence is enough to convict. 48

  • We need witnesses, ladies and gentlemen, forth the judge. 54

  • The Constitution requires that the chief justice of the Supreme Court preside over a Senate impeachment trial off the president. 55

  • In the current Supreme Court, that would mean Chief Justice John Roberts would preside. 56

  • Fifth, the punishment, usually defendant in a criminal case faces imprisonment. 57

  • But if convicted, the punishment of president faces is removal from office and being banned from ever holding office again with only two models in U. 58

  • S history of how a Senate impeachment trial might unfold. 59

  • There's a lot we don't know about what could happen, But one thing's for certain. 60

  • It will not look like a typical criminal trial next today, the entire government of Russia has resigned, but it wasn't out of protest. 61

  • It was apparently done to make it easier for Russian President Vladimir Putin to make major changes to his country's constitution. 62

  • It says Russia's president cannot serve more than two terms in a row. 63

  • Putin did that starting in the year 2000 and ending in 2008. 64

  • Then he was appointed Russia's prime minister for four years and his election back to the presidency in 2012 lead to tomb or terms in office as Russia's leader. 65

  • His current term ends in 2024 and what he's proposed doing is shifting some of the government's power from the president to parliament and the prime minister. 66

  • Critics say that President Putin might be positioning himself to be prime minister again when his term as president ends that he wants to make sure that he holds onto power. 67

  • When that happens. 68

  • Other observers say, the president wants to give the government a fresh makeover in the years ahead to help its economy while still retaining some power for himself. 69

  • Which of these U. 70

  • S. 71

  • Universities was founded in 17 89 making it the oldest on this list. 72

  • University of North Carolina, Purdue University, Texas A and M or The Citadel. 73

  • All of these schools were founded in the 18 hundreds, except for UNC, and some of those very schools are taking on a new challenge when it comes to getting students ready for job interviews. 74

  • In addition to a great cover letter, the appropriate outfit and knowing something about the company you're applying to, applicants may need to be ready to face a computer. 75

  • Some businesses air using artificial intelligence to whittle down a field of job applicants. 76

  • They're given a series of questions to answer over their laptop or smartphone. 77

  • Then it's not a recruiter. 78

  • It's an algorithm that analyzes their facial expressions, their grammar, their tone of voice and a I then concludes whether a human is enthusiastic, determined, are good at teamwork. 79

  • This is a new technology. 80

  • It's not really a proven one. 81

  • And while it might save companies time when interviewing a large number of applicants for, say, an entry level position, there are some concerns that computers can't assess people their driver their potential, like another person can. 82

  • And critics say these shortcomings could be applied to the other ways in which some businesses air turning to artificial intelligence even if it makes sense for them financially, artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every way in which we work. 83

  • Some aspects of business, like human resource, is marketing and customer service are already in these early transformative stages. 84

  • But the drones and driverless cars that will revolutionize supply chains and business models still belong to a relatively distant future. 85

  • Despite a eyes potential. 86

  • Only 12% of organizations used it last year in some way, according to an Adobe survey of 13,000 professionals, but an additional 30% planned on employing it within 12 months. 87

  • On the flip side, that same report predicts that companies that weight may see a 20% cash flow decline. 91

  • If a I fundamentally reshapes how we work, it has the power to do so for better or worse, if you've ever felt like you've been running on a treadmill like forever. 92

  • His name is Mario Mendoza, and he recently said a new treadmill world record. 94

  • He ran 31 miles in almost three hours, and he was flying his average pace with six minutes per mile. 95

  • Mendoza earned his record at Mattress High School in Madras, Oregon. 96

  • He wanted to promote fitness and inspire students. 97

  • Now that's the way to break a leg. 98

  • He must have had a one track or single track mind to keep up that pace while staying in place. 99

  • Tread milking that record like a pro Nader. 100

  • And while the finish line looked just like the starting line, he took it all in stride. 101

  • Because if the shoe fits, you just gotta run with it. 102
