China News Service, January 7th, according to US media news, on the 6th local time, supporters of US President Trump rushed into the US Capitol and caused riots.
As the situation continued to ferment, calls for Congress to impeach Trump for the second time or to dismiss him through the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution quickly appeared on social media.
According to reports, on the 6th local time, more and more American politicians called for the removal or impeachment of Trump on the grounds that he incited an attack on the Capitol.
On January 6, local time, the joint meeting of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to confirm the results of the Electoral College vote was interrupted due to large-scale riots caused by supporters of the current President Trump breaking into the Capitol.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee issued a statement urging U.S. Vice President Pence and members of President Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to remove Trump from office.
The fourth paragraph of the amendment stipulates that if a majority of the federal government cabinet officials believe that the president "cannot perform the powers and duties of his office," procedures will be initiated to deprive the president of power.
CBS quoted Republican sources as saying that some members of the Trump administration's cabinet are already in preliminary discussions on invoking the amendment to force Trump to step down.
In addition, some lawmakers are considering impeaching Trump again.
"I'm drafting articles of impeachment," said Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, who said, "Donald Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from the Senate. We can't let him stay... …We need to fulfill our vows."
US law stipulates that if the House of Representatives approves the relevant charges by a simple majority, it will then be transferred to the Senate, where the Senate will conduct a trial to determine whether the president is guilty.
According to the constitution, the Senate must pass by two-thirds of the vote to be convicted and remove the president.
