根据一项新的民意调查，一小部分美国人认为参议院对唐纳德·特朗普总统的无罪开释并不能证明他在乌克兰的不当行为。
上周三，共和党领导的参议院投票反对解除特朗普的职务——48票对52票反对滥用权力，47票对53票反对阻挠国会的指控——这使他成为历史上第三位在众议院通过的弹劾条款中被判无罪的美国总统。投票前，大多数美国公众在民意调查中表示，他们支持弹劾特朗普并解除其职务，但民主党需要67票(三分之二)才能判定特朗普有罪，考虑到参议院成员的政治构成，这是一个漫长的结果。
最新的昆尼皮亚克大学调查周一公布的调查显示，55%的登记选民表示，宣判特朗普无罪并不表明他在乌克兰问题上有任何不当行为，而40%的人表示有。受访者大多按照党派路线投票，81%的共和党人认为特朗普无罪开释，而91%的民主党人和54%的无党派人士表示无罪开释。
美国选民以49票对49票平分秋色，因为参议院决定在两项弹劾条款中宣布特朗普无罪。受访者主要按照党派路线投票，95%的共和党人赞成，90%的民主党人反对。在独立选民中，53%的人赞成，45%的人反对。

米特·罗姆尼参议员是唯一一位投票判定总统滥用职权罪名成立的共和党议员，也是唯一一位在审判中被民主党认为是不公平的“骗局”，因为共和党投票阻止新的证人作证。
在数据中，59%的选民认为参议院弹劾审判不公平，相比之下，35%的人认为他们是公平的。该调查在2月5日至9日期间对全国1519名自我认同的注册选民进行了调查。误差幅度为正负2.5个百分点。
共和党参议员里克·斯科特(Rick Scott)周四在特朗普被判无罪一天后，对弹劾规则提出了一项宪法修正案，将最低要求从简单多数提高到60%的绝对多数。他辩称，民主党对特朗普的弹劾进行了“党派猜谜”，并声称他提议的立法将防止“党派行为者”将弹劾作为“党派工具”
修正案成功的可能性很小。众议院和参议院需要三分之二的绝对多数，以及至少38个州的批准。1992年成为宪法一部分的第27次修正案是最后一次批准的宪法修正案。
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS SAY TRUMP'S SENATE ACQUITTAL DOESN'T CLEAR HIM OF WRONGDOING IN UKRAINE SCANDAL: POLL
Asmall majority of Americans believe the Senate's acquittal of President Donald Trump does not clear him of wrongdoing in relation to his conduct in Ukraine, according to a new poll.
The Republican-led Senate last Wednesday voted against removing Trump from office—48-52 on abuse of power and 47-53 on obstruction of Congress charge—making him the third U.S. president in history to be acquitted from House-passed articles of impeachment. Ahead of the vote, a majority of the American public indicated in polls that they supported Trump's impeachment and removal from office, but Democrats needed 67 votes, two-thirds, to convict Trump, a longshot outcome given the political makeup of the Senate's members.
The latest Quinnipiac University survey, released Monday, showed that 55 percent of registered voters say the acquittal does not clear Trump of any wrongdoing in the Ukraine matter, while 40 percent said it did. Respondents mostly voted along party lines, with 81 percent of Republicans believing that the acquittal clears Trump, while 91 percent of Democrats and 54 percent of independents say it does not.
American voters were evenly split—49-49—on the Senate's decision to acquit Trump on both articles of impeachment. Respondents heavily voted along party lines, with 95 percent of Republicans approving and 90 percent of Democrats disapproving. Of independent voters, 53 percent approved, while 45 percent disapproved.

Senator Mitt Romney was the only GOP member who voted to convict the president on one abuse of power charge, and the only in the trial that Democrats deemed an unfair "sham" after Republicans voted to block new witnesses from testifying.
In the data, 59 percent of voters say the Senate impeachment trial was conducted unfairly, compared to 35 percent who say they were fair. The poll surveyed 1,519 self-identified registered voters nationwide between February 5 to 9. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment.
Republican Senator Rick Scott introduced a constitutional amendment to rules governing impeachment on Thursday, one day after Trump's acquittal, to raise the threshold required from a simple majority to a 60 percent supermajority. He argued that the Democrats had executed a "partisan charade" with Trump's impeachment and claimed that his proposed legislation will prevent "partisan actors" from using impeachment as a "partisan tool."
The chances of the amendment succeeding is small. A two-thirds supermajority is needed in the House and Senate, as well as ratification by at least 38 states. The 27th amendment, which became part of the Constitution in 1992, was the last constitutional amendment ratified.
