MNI BRIEF: Schumer Calls For Trump Removal With 25th Amendment

Top Senator Democrat Chuck Schumer Thursday called for President Donald Trump to be immediately removed from office less than two weeks before Joe Biden is to be sworn in.

"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. If the vice president and the cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president," Schumer said in a statement.

"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," he added.
