WASHINGTON D.C. (WKZO AM/FM) – Democrats and some Republicans have called for Trump administration officials to invoke the 25th amendment to relieve President Trump of his powers, less than two weeks before he is to leave office. One of Michigan’s two U.S. Senators, Gary Peters, has joined that call.
In a statement released Thursday, Peters said, “The President violated his oath of office and incited a violent attack on our Capitol and democracy. He poses a clear and present danger to the American people and our national security. He should immediately be removed from office. I stand with many others – including the National Association of Manufacturers – in supporting the Vice President and Cabinet invoking the 25th amendment.”
Absent that, leading Democrats, including House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have called for impeachment proceedings to remove Trump after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol Wednesday.
