Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has called for Donald Trump to be
removed from office, saying he "should not hold office one day longer."

"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 in a statement
Thursday morning.

"If the vice president and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress
should reconvene to impeach the president."

Invoking the 25th Amendment would require the vice president and a
majority of the cabinet to vote to remove Trump from office. It is
intended for times when the president is unable to discharge the powers
and duties of the office.

Schumer's comments come a day after Trump appeared at a rally at which
he told supporters that the Nov. 3 presidential election "was stolen
from you, from me, from the country." He urged the crowd to march to
Capitol Hill, where lawmakers were gathered to certify President-elect
Joe Biden's election Electoral College win.

The pro-Trump extremists laid siege to the Capitol, bringing violence
and destruction.

Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who has been among the most outspoken
Republican critics of President Trump, also called for Trump to be
removed from office via the 25th Amendment.

"The president is unfit. The president is unwell," he said in a video
statement.

The only viable way is for him to resign. The senate is still unlikely
to convict and I am not sure the cabinet is ready for a coup.
