We applaud the bipartisan group of lawmakers who upheld their oath of office by standing up for our Constitution and our democracy by impeaching Donald Trump for inciting last week’s deadly insurrection and failed coup attempt.

With Donald Trump refusing to resign and Mike Pence so far failing to invoke the 25th Amendment, Congress has no choice but to act swiftly and decisively to remove this dangerous man from the Oval Office.

Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our democracy—and he cannot be allowed to remain in office for even 12 more days. Congress must immediately hold Trump accountable for inciting a violent insurrection to undermine our democracy.
