Oregon Lawmakers Call for the Removal of President Trump
In the wake of violence at the Capitol, some of our local lawmakers are calling for invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment.
A growing number of Oregon lawmakers call for the immediate removal of President Trump.
In the hours since pro-Trump extremists stormed the Capitol building, violently interrupting procedures to certify the election of Joseph Biden as the next US president, a growing number of legislators are calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. And Oregonâs senators and representatives are joining the chorus. According to Section 4 of this constitutional amendment, which dates from 1967, the Vice President and the majority of the cabinet can declare the president âunable to discharge the powers and duties of his officeâ and have him temporarily removed from exercising power, which would mean appointing Pence in his stead as acting president.Â
