Intervals Pelosi In an interview with (CBS), excerpts of which were released in advance on Saturday before its broadcast on Sunday: “Unfortunately, the person who runs the executive branch is a dysfunctional president, troubled and dangerous to the United States.”
He continued: “We still have only a few days to protect ourselves from him. But he did something so dangerous that there should be a lawsuit against him.”
Hundreds of pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol, the symbol of American democracy and the seat of the Legislative Council, on Wednesday shooting and killing five people, including a police officer.
Pelosi called on Trump on Friday to resign, while Twitter permanently deleted her account due to the possibility of inciting more violence, two days after a crowd of her supporters stormed the Capitol in an attack on American democracy.
Pelosi said that unless Trump resigns, he has instructed the House Rules Committee to move forward with the impeachment proposal and enact legislation based on the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that provides for the removal of the president if he cannot fulfill his duties.
“Accordingly, the House of Representatives will retain all options, including activating the 25th Amendment or the impeachment proposal … We will continue our deliberations with great respect,” Pelosi said in a statement after a three-hour meeting with the Democratic House of Representatives.
Twitter reported on Friday that it had permanently suspended Trump’s account due to the risk of further incitement to violence.
“After carefully reviewing recent tweets from Donald Trump’s account and the circumstances surrounding them, we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement to violence,” the company added.
The extraordinary events came after Trump on Wednesday incited thousands of his supporters to march toward the Congress building, sparking chaos that saw crowds storming the building, lawmakers going into hiding, and killing a police officer and others. four people.
Democrats, who have said impeachment could come up in the House this week, hope that threats of impeachment will intensify pressure on Pence and the administration to take steps to topple Trump before his term ends in less than two weeks.

But it is unclear whether lawmakers will actually be able to remove Trump from office, as any impeachment would justify a trial in the Senate that is so far still dominated by Republicans.
The articles constituting a set of official mismanagement allegations were drafted by Democratic lawmakers David Chichelin, Ted Liu and Jamie Ruskin.

Two-thirds of senators must vote to approve Trump’s impeachment.
Law professor Brian Calt said on Twitter that Pelosi’s call for legislation based on the 25th Amendment was unlikely to occur before the end of Trump’s presidency.
The Twenty-Fifth Amendment allows Congress to create a “body” that can, with the vice president’s support, declare the president unable to do the job. But Trump has the power to block the legislation necessary to create such a body.
An adviser said Pence opposes the idea of using the amendment to topple Trump.
Pelosi said Friday that she had spoken with General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about taking precautionary measures to prevent Trump from carrying out hostile military action or launching nuclear weapons.
Pelosi said, “The situation with this dysfunctional president could not be more dangerous, and we must do everything we can to protect the American people from their unbalanced aggression against our country and our democracy.”
Trump has been held accountable before, and if the Democrats, who have the majority in the House of Representatives, are successful, it will be such a precedent in American history, as no president has been held accountable twice.
