House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) are calling for the removal of President Donald Trump following Wednesday’s violent insurrection by extremists who were encouraged by Trump.⁠

“In calling for this seditious act, the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people,” Pelosi said. “I join the Senate Democratic leader in calling on the Vice President to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th Amendment. If the Vice President and cabinet do not act, then Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment. That is the overwhelming sentiment of my caucus ― and the American people, by the way.”⁠

It would be highly unusual for Trump’s own Cabinet to use the 25th Amendment to get him out of office. But Wednesday’s events were also highly unusual. ⁠

On Wednesday, thousands of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. after Trump gave a speech falsely claiming the election was stolen from him, and encouraging his supporters to march to the Capitol.⁠

Four people were killed in the ensuing violence, including a woman who was shot.⁠

The president did very little to discourage the mob throughout Wednesday’s events. At one point, he posted a video to Twitter calling for peace but then reiterated that Democrats stole the election. Trump has since been banned from posting on his Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages because his tweets incited violence.⁠

The 25th Amendment has been invoked in the past, but never to remove a sitting president. George W. Bush invoked it twice for himself during his presidency, and Ronald Reagan invoked it once ― all to undergo medical procedures.⁠

Many other elected officials have called for Trump’s impeachment. Read more at our link in bio.
