Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, became the first member of Congress to openly call for President Donald Trump’s removal using the 25th Amendment following Wednesday’s deadly insurrection on Capitol Hill.

Vice President Mike Pence should begin initiating the removal process, Kinzinger said in a video statement Thursday, “to ensure the next few weeks are safe for the American people.”

“It was the day where fires stoked by the president and other leaders finally leapt out of the pit, and it lit the trees,” he said of Wednesday’s violence.

1. OH NO! Trump has said that there will be a smooth transition, although the election was stolen

and he did not specifically say a transition to Biden. Therefore he regained his sanity overnight. He found it where he lost his coup.

2. first time in nearly 45 years that I have pride in a republican but he will have little

support. Now if all 50 sitting US Governors released a joint statement demanding the 25th amendment be called that would do it

Trying to find list of reps who are--having a really hard time finding concise info this morning. Opening WaPo now. When all else fails, read the paper!

10. please explain 25th ammendment to a brit

Hi Guys,
It's that damn Brit again, firstly, as the title says what are the details of your 25th amendment? Secondly, in the United Kingdom a convicted felon cannot run for political office, this is a lifetime ban though they do regain their right to vote when they are released back into society, does this apply to your society? if so then there is one obvious answer to the problem of Trump and his allies.
As I've said before both Trump and his psychotic son need to be permanently prevented from ever running for ANY political office, not just to protect the people of the United States but to protect the whole of the free world and if there is any way to destroy their financial power, this also must be done to prevent them from substantially supporting likeminded, evil, psychotic candidates in the future, find the evidence of wrong doing, there will be plenty out there, get them in court, find them rightfully guilty of the many felonious offences they've committed over the years and imprison them both.
Those of us who live outside your borders CANNOT substantially influence this, it is up to you great people to protect the rest of humanity from such evil.

11. He is my worthless Congress person.

He is a tea partier and a snake. Look at his voting record, and how he treats his constituents, not at his new words.

He is doing this because he wants to run for higher office. He would like to run for governor or for the Senate. Do not trust him.
