So we are making this call public because he should do it and do it right away,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Ex Chief of Staff Supports\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Later on Thursday afternoon, former White House chief of staff John Kelly said that he would support removing Trump from office if he were still in the Republican’s cabinet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Cabinet should meet and have a discussion. I don’t think it’ll happen, but I think the Cabinet should meet and discuss this,” said Kelly, who also previously served as Trump’s secretary of Homeland Security, during an interview with CNN. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The behavior yesterday and in the weeks and months before that has just been outrageous from the president,” Kelly said. “And what happened on Capitol Hill yesterday is a direct result of his poisoning the minds of people with the lies and the frauds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='insurrection']Invoking the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/05/645021413/amid-another-wild-week-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-25th-amendment\">25th Amendment\u003c/a> would require the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to vote to remove Trump from office. It was intended to be used if a president were unable to discharge the office because the chief executive had been badly hurt or incapacitated somehow — but not dead outright, in which case the vice president would step in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amendment has never been used in practice and is difficult to execute. It was intended as a legal mechanism for a crisis involving the president’s physical condition and not as a political tool more like impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Calls for Ouster Follow Violence\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Schumer’s comments come a day after Trump appeared at a rally at which he \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/congress-electoral-college-tally-live-updates/2021/01/06/953998465/trump-calls-on-pence-to-reject-electoral-votes-pence-says-he-wont\">told supporters\u003c/a> that the Nov. 3 presidential election “was stolen from you, from me, from the country.” He urged the crowd to march to Capitol Hill, where lawmakers were meeting to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College win. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pro-Trump extremists laid siege to the Capitol, bringing \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/congress-electoral-college-tally-live-updates/2021/01/07/954333542/four-dead-police-injured-dozens-arrested-after-siege-at-the-u-s-capitol\">violence and destruction\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who has been among the most outspoken Republican critics of the president, also called for Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The president is unfit. The president is unwell,” he said in a video statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepKinzinger/status/1347207878801846276?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep.

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a reliable Trump ally, said that the president’s actions the day before were “the problem, not the solution” but argued against invoking the 25th right now. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not believe that’s appropriate at this point. I’m looking for a peaceful transfer of power. I’m looking for the next 14 days to reset and we hand off power in a traditional sense, by it being a peaceful transfer,” he told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he later added: “Now, if something else happens, all options would be on the table.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump was impeached in 2019 by the House over accusations he tried to influence Ukraine to target Joe Biden’s son, but in early 2020, Republicans used their majority in the Senate to keep him in office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 NPR.

People had served time, sometimes 20, 25 years, and were out on parole, sometimes parole terms were very long depending on certain circumstances and they didn't have the right to vote.

I know why it's extremely important for people to vote. And I also know what happens when people are disenfranchised. It is devastating and it's equally harmful when they not just vote, but when they're disenfranchised. And that can be a lack of opportunity with regards to not understanding our rights ... that voting is not accessible and it's too difficult for people to get to the polls. It's the highest priority of this democracy and we should make it that by what we do with the programs in the budget.\u003c/p>\n\n",

People had served time, sometimes 20, 25 years, and were out on parole, sometimes parole terms were very long depending on certain circumstances and they didn't have the right to vote. I think the public said very clearly, yes, they should have the right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a bill that was going to come forward this year that I had been asked to carry. And I hope someone else [will introduce it]. It talked about when people are released, they should be given certain information. And one of those things should be a driver's license. Maybe the other thing should be a registration card so they can register to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>One thing I heard from election officials up and down the state this year is that they finally had the money they needed to run elections, largely because of funding from the federal CARES Act. Given that some tough budget years may be ahead in California, what’s your pitch to the governor and to your soon-to-be-former colleagues in the Legislature to make elections a budget priority?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, you know, being able to vote and having access to voting is truly, truly a part of what democracy is all about, and I think we have to prioritize that. I hope the Legislature saw that when you put the money into it, you get better results. You get people who go to vote. Investing in outreach, investing in creating opportunities for people to vote, giving them more options, creates a better voting environment, a stronger democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I know why it's extremely important for people to vote. And I also know what happens when people are disenfranchised. It is devastating and it's equally harmful when they not just vote, but when they're disenfranchised. And that can be a lack of opportunity with regards to not understanding our rights ... that voting is not accessible and it's too difficult for people to get to the polls. It's the highest priority of this democracy and we should make it that by what we do with the programs in the budget.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
