Pelosi calls for 25th Amendment, impeachment to remove Trump
Pelosi calls for 25th Amendment, impeachment to remove Trump
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for President Trump's immediate removal from office by way of the 25th Amendment for inciting a violent riot at the Capitol Wednesday in an attempt to stop the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's win.
She joins with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in urging Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to remove Trump from office immediately, calling him "a very dangerous person" who committed an "act of sedition."
Pelosi said if Pence won't act, the House is prepared to impeach Trump again.
"The president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people," Pelosi said Thursday, a day after pro-Trump supporters took over the U.S. Capitol and forced lawmakers to evacuate to secure locations.
"By inciting sedition as he did yesterday, he must be removed from office," Pelosi said. "While it's only 13 days left, any day can be a horror show for America."
Pelosi said she'd hope to get an answer from Pence Thursday on whether he would be invoking the 25th Amendment.
"The president of the United States incited an insurrection against America," Pelosi said.
Pelosi also called for the resignation of the chief of the Capitol Police Steven Sund and said the House Sergeant at Arms Paul D. Irving has submitted his resignation in the wake of the major security breaches at the Capitol.

I'd like to know exactly what he said that qualifies as "inciting a riot."
Seriously. Does anyone know?

They might have some credibility if they hadn't called for the 25th repeatedly for 3 years.

I've been wondering the same thing. But people on both sides seem pretty sure of it. Although I think most people are just afraid it's going to happen to them next. Yes, that IS what they should be afraid of. All these Republican distancing themselves at this point. Joe Biden literally calling Republican Senators Nazis! I've never seen it so bad in my lifetime. I'm afraid we are gearing up for much worse than what we saw on the Capital.
