WASHINGTON – The League of Women Voters has called on Congress to immediately impeach President Donald Trump for causing his supporters to invade Capitol Hill on Wednesday to forcefully overturn elections where Joe Biden has been declared the clear winner.
They called for his impeachment with disqualification and for Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment, if Congress fails to heed calls to impeach Trump.
In a statement, the League of Women Voters described President Donald Trump as the instigator of the Wednesday domestic Terrorist attack on Capitol that left five Americans dead and many injured.
“He commanded and army of insurrectionists to forcefully overturn our free and fair elections in an effort to maintain power. These are actions of a tyrannical despot and they are in direct opposition to American democracy. President Trump continues to present a clear threat to national security as well as the safety and security of the American public.
“For violating his oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States, Donald Trump must immediately resign or be removed from office by any measure possible in accordance with the law. Removing Trump and swearing in Vice President Mike Pence to fulfill the duration of this presidential term will ensure our constitution is maintained and upheld.
