U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist on Wednesday called for the removal of President Donald Trump from office hours after the president’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in a chaotic takeover of the country’s seat of legislative power.
“The 25th Amendment allows for the removal of a President,” Crist, a St. Petersburg Democrat, tweeted. “It’s time to remove the President.”
The 25th Amendment allows for the removal of a President. It's time to remove the President.

The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that the Vice President and a majority of Cabinet members can declare a president “unable to discharge the powers and the duties of the office.” Under such a scenario, the vice president, Mike Pence, would be named acting president. It has never been used to remove a president against his will.
