Following Wednesday’s protest at the U.S. Capitol, Senator Chuck Schumer requested that Vice President Mike Pence invoke the 25th amendment to remove Trump from office. House Democrats are organizing articles of impeachment as well.
“What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the United States, incited by the president. This president should not hold office one day longer,” said Schumer.
“The quickest and most effective way — it can be done today — to remove this president from office would be for the vice president to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment,” added Schumer. “If the vice president and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president."
“The president is unfit and the president is unwell. And the president must now relinquish control of the executive branch voluntarily or involuntary,” said Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who became the first Republican to call for Pence to invoke the 25th.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has joined in the calls for using the 25th as well.
