A Growing List of Lawmakers and Groups Support Impeaching Trump or Invoking the 25th Amendment
“President Trump must be removed from office as soon as possible, indicted, and convicted,” said the head of Common Cause.
In the wake of Wednesday’s violent attack on the U.S. Capitol incited by President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers who opposed the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory, a growing list of elected officials, leaders of civil society groups, and others have publicly called for swiftly impeaching the president or removing him from office by invoking the 25th Amendment.
After months of lying about voter fraud and claiming he won in November, Trump on Thursday conceded to Biden and said his “focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly, and seamless transition of power.” He also claimed to be “outraged by the violence, lawlessness, and mayhem” at the Capitol without acknowledging his role.
