The congressional leaders are currently in a secret location to discuss the 25th amendment so President Trump can be immediately removed from the White House. The 25th Amendment states that a President can be removed if he is unable to fulfill his duties and powers in office. The decision has to be made by Vince President Pence and a majority of the President’s cabinet or two-thirds of Congress as reported by TMZ.
President Trump’s Twitter account was temporarily suspended for 12 hours after the social media platform stated his tweets are responsible for the riots and promoted violence among his supporters.
“As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy.”
