Calls to remove president Trump from office
There are calls to invoke the 25 Amendment to remove president Trump for office with immediate effect albeit 14 days to the inauguration of president-elect Joe Biden.
“The Twenty-fifth Amendment (Amendment XXV) to the United States Constitution says that if the President becomes unable to do his job, the Vice President becomes the President. This can happen for just a little while, if the President is just sick or disabled for a short time.”
