Democratic parliamentary group leader in the Senate calls for Trump’s removal
After Donald Trump’s supporters storm the Capitol, calls for the US president to be ousted are getting louder. The Democratic Group Leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, demanded the Republican Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday to remove Trump from office immediately with the help of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. Otherwise, Congress should remove the elected president from office. What happened on Wednesday at the Capitol, “was an uprising against the United States instigated by the President, “ said Schumer. “This president should not stay in office one day longer. “If the Vice President and Cabinet refused to stand up, Congress should meet again to indict the President.
Also the Republican MP in the House of Representatives, Adam Kinzinger, called to one Deposition of Trump according to the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. “Everything indicates that the president has broken free, not only from his duty or even his oath, but from reality itself,” explains Kinzinger on Twitter. Also 19 Democratic MPs called for removal in this way. According to an insider, there was already deliberations about it among cabinet members. Another insider, however, doubted that such an approach would come in view of Trump’s imminent end of office on January 20. (Reuters)
