Amidst the chaos orchestrated by Donald Trump supporters as the U.S. Congress sat to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s win, the call for his removal from office is garnering momentum.

The president, who has adamantly been stoking conspiracy theories of election fraud in attempt to overturn the result of the presidential election which he lost, supported the organized protest by the pro-Trump group who has unleashed mayhem at the Capitol.

The National Guard was reportedly authorized by Vice President Mike Pence to quell the insurrection, as Trump was reluctant to do so. Police said four persons have been killed in the unprecedented event of today that has been described as “attempted coup” and frontal “attack on U.S. democracy.”

The Capitol has never seen such an attack since the invasion of the British on August 24, 1814.

The chaos prompted some GOP members who had decided to object to the electoral votes of Biden to change their minds. Now many are calling for Trump’s impeachment or the invocation of the 25th Amendment.

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Vice President Pence on Wednesday evening, asking him to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Trump from office.

Rep. David Cicilline shared the letter signed by more than 10 others, including Rep. Cori Bush, Steve Cohen and Madeleine Dean, on Twitter, imploring Pence to remove Trump from office “after today’s events.”

“It is with sadness that we write to you following the incidents that unfolded at the U.S. Capitol today. As you presided over the U.S. Senate, angry supporters of President Trump attempted an insurrection, illegally storming and breaching the U.S. Capitol building to stop the certification of President-elect Biden’s victory,” says the letter.

They pointed out that Trump has shown he is not capable to lead the country, which means the 25th Amendment, which provides an avenue through which the vice president and Cabinet can remove a sitting president who is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office’ should be applied.

“Even in his video announcement this afternoon, President Trump revealed that he is not mentally sound and is still unable to process and accept the results of the 2020 election.

“For the sake of our democracy, we emphatically urge you to invoke the 25th Amendment and begin the process of removing President Trump from power. President has shown time and again that he is unwilling to protect our Democracy and carry out the duties of the office,” the lawmakers Wrote to Pence.

Pence, who defied Trump on Wednesday has been under intense pressure from him to overturn the result of the presidential during the Jan. 6 Electoral Votes certification.

Trump’s relentless effort to discredit the outcome of the Nov. 3 election, calling it “rigged” and alleging it was fraudulent has resulted in escalation of events that undermine American democracy, forcing many of his close supporters to desert him.

The event of Wednesday however seems to have gone beyond what the Congress’ partisan could condone, now the lawmakers are teaming up to save the day.

“Every Republican who believes in freedom and democracy needs to call for the president’s resignation or removal. Now,” wrote Rep. McGovern.

Reports from The White House say members of Trump’s Cabinet are seriously considering invoking the 25th Amendment, and GOP members are backing the plan. Calls to remove GOP Senators, Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz who have been heralding Trump’s conspiracy theories which fueled the event of Wednesday, have also been on high.

Republicans are now furious at Trump for fomenting an attack on American democracy and disgracing their party. He has been blamed for their loss of Georgia’s senatorial election which has given Democrats the control of the Congress.

There is growing concern among Republicans and Americans that if Trump is allowed to spend the remaining 13 days of his term in White House, he will cause further harm and create more hatred and division than what has been witnessed in more than three years.

“The president is unfit to remain in office for the next 14 days. Every second he retains the vast powers of the presidency is a threat to public order and national security. Vice President Pence … should immediately gather the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment,” said George Conway, Lawyer and Washington Post columnist.

Despite the insurrection that greeted the ratification of U.S. President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College win on Wednesday, Congress has certified him as the 46th president of the United States.

The Vice President Mike Pence who presided over the Congress issued a statement after the counting affirmed Biden’s votes.

“The announcement of the state of the vote by the president of the Senate shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected president and Vice President of the United States, each for the term beginning on the 20th day of January 2021 and shall be entered together with the list of the votes on the journals of the Senate and the House of Representatives,” Pence said after the count of all the State’s Electoral College votes.

The Senate and House rejected objections to throw out Georgia and Pennsylvania’s electoral votes for Biden. Other states, Arizona, Nevada and Michigan where Republicans objected to were also upheld after the motion failed before it reached debate.

Only seven senators supported the objection while 92 voted against it. In the House, 138 Republicans voted to uphold the objection while 282, including 64 Republicans voted against it.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell indicated that there would be no further objections to the way for Congress to finish the count and certify Biden as president and Harris as the vice president.

The ratification was done after Congress reconvened following the attack by pro-Trump rioters at the Capitol, which disrupted the process earlier on Wednesday.

In defiance of Trump’s continuous attempt to overturn the outcome of the election, thereby subverting the will of Americans who voted for Biden, Pence broke camp with Trump.

The President has been counting on his vice following the failure of his past efforts, which largely were rejected by courts, to change the result of the election to favor. Pence who played cool until the final days and sided with the majority of American voters declared Biden the winner.

“The announcement of the state of the vote by the president of the Senate shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected President and Vice President of the United States, each for the term beginning on the 20th day of January 2021 and shall be entered together with the list of the votes on the journals of the Senate and the House of Representatives,” Pence said after the ratification.

Following this announcement, the siege around the electoral will of Americans ended. Trump who is under fire even from members of his own party, and is facing the threat of 25th Amendment and impeachment, was forced to accept the decision of the Congress. He said there would be an “orderly transition of January 20.”

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted.

“While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again,” Trump said in a statement posted on Twitter by White House spokesman Dan Scavino after Congress certified Biden’s win.

However, the event of Wednesday has casted a monument of dent on Trump’s legacy, as more and more people within and outside the United States are rising to condemn the riot at the Capitol, fueled by his post-election utterances and actions.

Trump’s camp is getting smaller as many of his close allies are deserting him. Report from White House said officials are resigning in the wake of the Capitol insurrection. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat have all temporarily suspended Trump’s accounts, and his last three posts have been removed for stoking violence.
