Colorado Congressman Ed Perlmutter Calls On Vice President To Invoke 25th Amendment To Remove Trump
DENVER (CBS4)- Colorado Congressman Ed Perlmutter is taking to Twitter, calling on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Pres. Donald Trump from office. This comes one day after a violent mob broke into the Captiol Building, forcing Congress and their staff to evacuate.
Perlmutter went on to state that "I have long supported removing President Trump from office. He is clearly unfit to carry out his duties, has failed to uphold his oath of office, and has incited violence since before taking office."
He also tweeted that removing Trump from office "will ensure the peaceful transition of power to the new administration and turn the corner on this chaotic, unlawful and dangerous presidency."
Perlmutter represents the 7th District of Colorado in Congress.
Shortly after, Sen. Michael Bennet tweeted his support for the 25th Amendment.
