Over 30 Reps Call For Trump’s Impeachment — 2 Weeks To End Of His Tenure by Drealhustlers: 7:50pm On Jan 08, 2021
Thirty-seven members of the United States house
of representatives have indicated interest in an
article seeking to impeach President Donald
Trump.
The article, whose lead sponsor is Ilhan Omar, a
Democrat from Minnesota, accused Trump of
committing “high crimes and misdemeanors”.
The move, which comes just about two weeks to
the end of the Trump presidency, is the latest in
the events unfolding after demonstrators stormed
the US Capitol and disrupted the ratification of Joe
Biden’s victory in the recent presidential election.
The protesters marched to the legislative building
after a rally where they were addressed by Trump
in his last push to fight defeat in the hands of
Biden.While the mob invasion was condemned, the US
president told the protesters that he “loves” them
and, in a statement afterwards, insisted that he
“ totally disagrees ” with the outcome of the
election.
Key officials accused him of inciting the mob
attack, with federal lawmakers demanding that he
be removed from office.
In the article of impeachment shared via her
Twitter handle, Omar said Trump will continue to
endanger US democracy if he remains in office.“Once again, Trump has violated constitutional
oath to faithfully execute the office of President of
the United States and, to the best of his ability,
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States,” the article reads.
“Every single hour that Donald Trump remains in
office our country, our democracy, and our national
security remain in danger. Congress must take
immediate action to keep the people of this
country safe and set a precedent that such
behaviour cannot be tolerated.”A total of 12 lawmakers were earlier listed as co-
leads in the article.
However, in a subsequent tweet, Omar listed 24
additional reps as co-sponsors, bringing the total
number of lawmakers who are involved in the
impeachment move to 37.

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the house of
representatives, has urged Mike Pence, the vice-
president, to invoke the 25th amendment to
remove Trump from office.
“Trump has committed an assault on our nation
and our people. Pence must remove him and
invoke the 25th amendment. If they fail to act, we
may be prepared to move forward with
impeachment. Justice will be done to those who
carry out these actions of sedition and cowardice,”
Pelosi said in an address on Thursday.
Similarly, Chuck Schumer, senate democratic
leader, has also called for the invoking of the 25th
amendment, seen as a last resort to remove a
defaulting president.
“What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was
an insurrection against the United States, incited by
the president. This president should not hold office
one day longer,” Schumer said in the statement.

Nothing will come out of it. Democrats are angry that biden will be the first leader that wouldn't be handed over by his successor. That in a way de-legitimizes his presidency.

See logic. Did Trump incite the crowd to March to Capitol Hill or not?
