Congressman Derek Kilmer issued a call for President Donald Trump to be removed from office.
Kilmer, who represents Washington's 6th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, said the 25th amendment of the Constitution should be invoked.
In a statement released following a riot by Trump supporters in Washington, D.C. Wednesday, Kilmer said Trump was "unfit for office."
Kilmer's statement:
“The president is manifestly unfit for office. He has demonstrated it time and again over the last four years and his actions today incited violence not just against the Capitol building but against our representative democracy.
"I agree with retired U.S. Navy admiral and former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mike Mullen that Donald Trump is 'not in a position to lead the next 14 days' and that 'we need to act in a preventive way to prevent more from happening.' With that in mind, I believe that the Vice President and cabinet should invoke the 25th amendment.”
