Chuck Schumer, top Senate Democrat has called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office following yesterday’s violent attacks at the US Capitol.

Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer said Thursday that President Donald Trump should be removed immediately from office after inciting the"insurrection" at the US Capitol.

Schumer called for intervention by Vice President Mike Pence, who angered Trump Wednesday by acknowledging he could not overturn their election defeat in a ceremonial congressional session raided by a pro-Trump mob. "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," Schumer said.
