Top US Senate Democrat Demands Trump's Ouster

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate called Thursday for
   President Donald Trump's immediate removal from office with 13 days
   left in his presidency after he urged a crowd of angry supporters to
   march on the U.S. Capitol, where they overran the building.

   "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," said Sen. Chuck Schumer of New
   York.

   Schumer, set to become the Senate majority leader soon, said the
   "quickest and most effective way" to oust Trump from the White House
   would be for Vice President Mike Pence and a majority of Trump's
   Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to
   declare that he is incapacitated and unable to continue in office.
