Pelosi, Schumer, Republican Congressman join calls to oust Trump from office

By Arul Louis New York, Jan 8 : Reeling from the mob attack on Congress, the nation’s two highest-ranking Democrats and a Republican Congressman have demanded that Vice President Mike Pence act to remove President Donald Trump from office.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Party leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday said that he could pose a danger to the country in the 13 days left for him to be in office and Pence and the cabinet should invoke the constitution to declare him unfit to function as president and oust him.
A Republican member of the House of Representatives, Adam Kinzinger also called for Trump’s removal from office.
Pelosi threatened to start impeachment proceedings against Trump if Pence and the cabinet did not remove him under the Constitution’s 25th Amendment.
“If the Vice President and Cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment,” Pelosi said.
Many leaders from both parties have blamed Trump for his supporters creating nightmarish scenes by storming the Capitol on Wednesday.
