US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has urged Vice-President Mike Pence to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment to “unseat” incumbent President Donald Trump.

Pelosi told reporters at a briefing on Thursday that “In the next 13 days, this dangerous man can do further assault on our democracy,”

Pelosi said America is in a dangerous place with Trump still in power despite the fact that Trump’s four-year tenure will end on January 20 and President-elect Joe Biden is expected to take over office.

The 80-year-old noted that Trump must be held accountable for the Capitol riot in Washington on Wednesday adding that “We are in a very dangerous place as long as Donald Trump remains in office”

“The President has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people. I join the Senate Democrat leader and call on the Vice-President to remove this President by invoking the 25th Amendment. If the Vice-President and cabinet do not act the Congress may be compelled to move forward with impeachment,” the speaker stated.

Recall that supporters of Trump had swarmed Capitol on Wednesday during a joint session of Congress held to certify the electoral victory of Democrat Biden.

The Capitol violence, hours after an extraordinary rally by Trump challenging his defeat, saw flag-waving backers break down barricades outside the Capitol and swarm inside, sending the legislative sessions into an emergency recess.

Four persons have been pronounced dead while scores were reportedly injured.

However, Congress leaders including Pelosi reconvened after the riot and affirmed Biden’s Electoral College victory over Trump.

Political leaders across all continents have condemned Trump’s action, with many accusing him of dragging one of the world’s most respected and resilient democracy in the mud.
