Unofficial roll call of senators endorsing removal: (thread)

Yesterday\u2019s insurrection was instigated & incited by President Trump. He is unfit to hold office for even one day longer.

The 25th Amendment should be invoked &, if the VP & Cabinet refuse to act, Senate Republicans must join the House to impeach & remove Trump.

Donald Trump has shown he is a direct threat to the safety and security of Americans and the integrity of our democracy. The Vice President & Cabinet should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the President from office.

President Trump must be removed from office for inciting yesterday's violent insurrection.

I call on Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and begin the process of removing the powers of the presidency from Donald Trump. This is the quickest way to protect our domestic and national security.

President Trump has abandoned his post. He does not deserve to be president any longer, and he poses a real and present threat to the future of our democracy. pic.twitter.com/TB12IOooMf

Trump\u2019s incitement to violence & mob action yesterday is indisputable. New York Times' headline says it all: "Trump Incites Mob"

The VP should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment. If the VP & Cabinet refuse to do their duty, Congress should reconvene to impeach the President.

— Senator Dick Durbin (@SenatorDurbin) January 7, 2021

Rather than taking the easy resign route, @VP Pence and the Trump cabinet should invoke the 25th amendment to save our country from this dangerous president.

— Senator Mazie Hirono (@maziehirono) January 7, 2021

The sun is up on a new day. But there must be accountability for yesterday:

The Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment against Trump. If he wants to challenge, Congress should vote him out.

Congress should inform Trump that he is not welcome at the inauguration.

— Tim Kaine (@timkaine) January 7, 2021

It\u2019s painfully clear that President Trump remains an ongoing and immediate threat to our constitutional republic. He should either immediately resign or the Vice President should invoke the 25th Amendment. Absent that, I support Congress reconvening to impeach the President.

— Sen. Patrick Leahy (@SenatorLeahy) January 7, 2021

The Vice President and the Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment and end Donald Trump's seditious and authoritarian presidency today.

— Ed Markey (@EdMarkey) January 7, 2021

Trump is absolutely unfit and should be removed from office. If we can do it by Jan 20 by impeachment, I am all for it. The cabinet and VP can and should invoke the 25th Amendment TODAY. And there should be criminal investigations and prosecutions. Justice demands accountability.

— Senator Jeff Merkley (@SenJeffMerkley) January 7, 2021

As history watches, I urge Vice President Pence and the President\u2019s Cabinet to put country before party and invoke the 25th Amendment to immediately remove Trump from office. My full statement here: https://t.co/ZFIblKBTQi

A number of Administration officials are resigning in protest to Trump\u2019s horrific acts of sedition yesterday. Not good enough! The Vice President and cabinet members must invoke the 25th amendment NOW and remove Trump from office before he incites more violence and chaos.

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) January 7, 2021

Trump is a danger to democracy itself. I took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We must both initiate impeachment proceedings in the House and invoke the 25th Amendment. Our vigilance must increase, not wane, in the final days.

— Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) January 7, 2021

The quickest and most effective way\u2014it can be done today\u2014to 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 must reconvene to impeach President Trump.

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 7, 2021

President Trump instigated yesterday\u2019s seditious attack on our democracy and must be removed from office. Each day he remains in the White House is a threat to our country. VP Pence must invoke the 25th amendment. If he and the Cabinet won\u2019t act, Congress should move to impeach.

— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) January 7, 2021

This president is unfit to remain in office for the next 2 weeks. Every minute he\u2019s in power, he continues to be a threat to our security. It\u2019s time for the 25th Amendment.

— Mark Warner (@MarkWarner) January 7, 2021

I 100% agree. https://t.co/rbLHLsNZYG

— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) January 7, 2021

President Trump incited an attempted insurrection.

He\u2019s unfit.

He ought to go, by resignation, the 25th Amendment, or impeachment.

— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) January 7, 2021

As I said last night\xa0Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our democracy. His Cabinet must use the 25th\xa0amendment to act. And if Mike Pence and Trump\u2019s \u201csee-no-evil\u201d Cabinet don\u2019t have the stomach to do their duty, Congress should re-convene to impeach this dangerous man.
