Nancy Pelosi joined Chuck Schumer Thursday in calling for President Trump to be impeached and removed from office under the 25th amendment, a move that would also prevent him seeking a second term in 2024.
Both called the breach inside the Capitol an ‘insurrection’, and proof that Trump is unfit to remain President for another 12 days, or ever take office again.
labelling Trump a “very dangerous person”, Pelosi said that “this is an emergency of the highest magnitude,” adding “If the vice president and the cabinet do not act the congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment.”
“Yesterday the president of the United States incited an armed insurrection against America,” Pelosi claimed, adding that “in calling for this seditious act, the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation.”
House Speaker Pelosi calls President Trump “a very dangerous person who should not continue in office.”

After comparing the events of Wednesday to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Chuck Schumer also called for impeachment via the 25th amendment:
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.
If the Vice President and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress must reconvene to impeach President Trump.

As we reported yesterday, Democrats are circling articles of impeachment and lobbying VP Mike Pence to get on board with them in an effort to stop Trump ever holding any office again:
Worth noting: They seek not only to remove Trump from office, but also to bar him from ever running again.

Members of Trump’s own cabinet were reportedly considering the move, but it appears Pence has already ruled it out, according to insiders.
