The top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer called for President Donald Trump’s removal Thursday a day after a mob spurred by the president overran the Capitol as lawmakers tallied President-elect Joe Biden’s presidential win.
“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,” the New York Democrat said in a statement.
“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,” he continued. “If the Vice President and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president.”
Biden will become president on Jan. 20 after Trump for months spouted conspiracy theories that widespread election fraud cost him a second term in office. More lawmakers have warned another two weeks of Trump’s presidency could further erode American democracy or lead to more loss of life after four people died during the Capitol attack Wednesday.
More than 100 lawmakers have called for the president’s removal through the 25th Amendment, impeachment or resignation, according to an NBC News tally. Only one of those — Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois — is a Republican.
Congress adjourned for at least the week after it counted Biden’s electoral victory early Thursday. It is unclear if either chamber would return in time to vote to remove the president before inauguration. While Schumer’s Democrats will control the Senate in the coming weeks after Senators-elect Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff from Georgia take office, Republicans will hold the chamber until they are sworn in.

How the Dems and their allies hate the ideals of self governance, liberty, freedom, and natural rights.
YES, but it's OK from the Dems and the media. It's the tyrannical world we live in.
More than 100 called for electors votes to be tossed out but that went nowhere so go shove it up your butt chuck.
They THINK the people have their backs THEY have actually come to believe the lie that they WON the election these people have NO IDEA how much they are hated!! 500,000 people made it to DC yesterday during a pandemic most having been laid off, businesses shut down, freezing cold temperatures!! The people LOVE Trump far more than the left LOVED Obama they MUST STOP him!! This BS over yesterday is being SO OVERBLOWN it is pathetic for months we watch cities looted and burned to the ground and we heard CRICKETS!! SCREW ALL OF THEM!! The anger is building if they even TRY to remove this man from office I am very afraid of what will happen our side is VERY PEACEFUL but the RAGE is festering!!

Don’t know about others anger but I’m angry. I spent the first part of my morning unfollowing all GOP Congress critters. There’s no point in listening to them any longer, even the ones who act like patriots.
For the coming conflict I hope the people fighting will be smart and take out the security first before the others. If the fight comes to me I’ll surely join in but there isn’t enough organization on our side...yet. Join a militia? Not in my deck of cards.

What kills me is that none of the RINOs in congress ever seem to denounce the threats made by leftist politicians against those of us who support POTUS. Schumer himself made such a veiled threat just yesterday while speaking in the Senate. Not a word from “our side” about that.
Yet another coup attempt ?!?
your name would have saved our republic.
I don’t want to hear any appeasement
btw.. Gaetz was on a rant when it was his turn..he did it right..
So is he calling for a coup??

I don’t know about that but I do know one thing... I wasn’t really feeling all that incited before but I sure do now!!
Yes sir. I do agree Matt did a great job. I didn’t say all GOP are traitors to this once great republic. The majority of them though are just like the left, sheep that are just followers.
“Ok. So Pence takes office for 2 weeks and pardons Trump for all issues real and imagined. “
Yeah, he’s a good, Christian man and will do what’s best for the country.
I heard Schumer say one time, “He wanted him (Trump) out of “our” white house. Another time, he claimed Trump stole those supreme court judge seats, like trump had no right to fill the seats, or something.
The Democrat Fraud Machine stealing the Presidency in a coup-by-counterfeiting is the problem.
maybe this is why people are resigning.. so the 25th can not be used
Chuckie Cheap Shot strikes again!
hope you are going armed!!!
sorry i live in calif so i cant hitch a ride
That would be a little bit out of the way from Staten Island, NY :)
