In the aftermath of the insurrection that took place at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, lawmakers are calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office.
According to reports, “Informal discussions” have been held within the Trump administration about the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer also called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, adding that Trump “should not hold office one day longer.”
“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,” Schumer said in a statement Thursday morning.
