The stunning intervention to remove a sitting president would need significant bipartisan support to succeed in the Senate, something Democrats don't have yet. But Pelosi has bluntly warned the White House that the House would impeach Trump for"seditious acts" in inciting riots at the Capitol on Wednesday. "This is urgent -- this is an emergency of the highest magnitude," the California Democrat told reporters Thursday.

The first step is to draft the resolution, something that multiple Democratic members are now circulating.The one with the most traction is being drafted by Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Ted Lieu of California -- three members of the House Judiciary Committee. Others have proposed options as well, including Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar. But serious discussions about how to proceed have yet to take shape.

Trump is undemocratic and confused

Let the Biden Pelosi go to Prison

Justice has disappeared in the world that fascist Azerbaijan and Turkey are not punished

Don’t just talk about it. If you mean it, do it.

Too bad impeachment doesn't remove the President. All this is is crazy leftists getting in as much crazy as they can before they are left only having crazy to work with.

Stay away from Robinhood. They are always getting hacked and tech support is useless. They even issued a debit card for my mothers account to someone in Indonesia. Her account is registered to an address in Georgia !!! They sent a card to Indonesia.

I vote for impeachment now!!

cnni The word I find most concerning in that statement is “considering” FFS...get it done. What else will it take?

Pelosi needs to go too

Has anybody every heard of `SELF PARDON '. Something new to me!

How about reforming impeachment so it actually works and has a lasting negative impact on the impeached? Donald Trump should have been removed from office years ago. This government is dysfunctional, corrupt and incapable of being a fair arbiter of justice.

like her lightening quick termination of the objection hearings into electoral fraud? Don't forget 'That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government'

He’s got 2 weeks left in office. So naturally, Democrats will spend all of their effort on him rather than helping the economy heal, getting people the vaccine... What will they do when he’s gone for good? 🤷🏽‍♀️

These democrats are trying to beat the clock before the Italian whistleblower testimony makes it here. Europe is going crazy about it. Wonder if they will go down with this ship.

Removing or impeaching a president that has less than 15 days to spend, what a waste of resources. CNN won't stop with their inciting stories.

This man has caused so much damage to America. Do you really want to allow him the opportunity to run for office again? He needs to be impeached...

just start it already. don't debate it just vote on it. need to get him out before he can pardon everyone involved with what happened wensday

Yes, people keep saying is only 13 days but he still has the nuke codes in those 13 days personally i would not trust him now With a water pistol let alone them.

Just do it!! We the people demand JUSTICE!

John Earle Sullivan, who was inside the Capitol building during the siege on Wednesday, previously gave a speech in BLM Plaza in DC in August 2020 where he identifies as being part of an insurgency group & calls for a violent left-wing revolution.

This should have happened immediately after the confirmation of the electoral college votes the other day. All these delays only say to the American people that the government is (1) scared to oppose Trump still & (2) don’t care.

Do not consider it - act - now -
