Congress will act unless President Donald Trump resigns voluntarily.
If the government does not overthrow Trump himself, the Democrats are ready to start a Supreme Court trial against the president.
This was promised by the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi on Friday, who called the storming of the Capitolium "a stain on the nation's history".
According to her own statement, she has spoken with Vice President Mike Pence, but without receiving an answer as to whether he is prepared to deprive Trump of power.
Dissatisfaction with Trump also exists within his own party.
On Friday, Republican Senator Ben Sasse said he was considering supporting a federal court.
"I believe that the president has disregarded the oath he swore," Sasse told CBS News.
Lack of time - the Senate has a break
To overthrow the president, a two-thirds majority in the Senate is required in a vote.
According to information to Reuters, the Democrats have mobilized to demand a Supreme Court on Monday.
But questions remain about how this could be done in practice.
The Senate has a break in the work until January 19 - the day before Trump will still hand over the presidency to the Democrats' Joe Biden.
