TRENTON, N.J. – Democrats posted a last-minute resolution in both chambers on Monday condemning President Donald Trump and calling for him to be removed from office – or at least impeached – for his alleged role in inciting last week’s Capitol Hill riot.
“This House strongly urges that President Donald J. Trump resign from office, be removed from office for being unfit to serve as President pursuant to the 25th Amendment of the United States Constitution, or be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors pursuant to Article 1 of the United States Constitution,” read the language of the resolution.
