Senador Menéndez pide al presidente Trump que renuncie voluntariamente

According to New Jersey Advance Media, New Jersey’s senior Senator Bob Menendez today called on President Donald Trump to voluntarily resign from office ahead of the January 20th inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

With the U.S. House of Representatives preparing to impeach the President for a second time on Wednesday, Menendez earlier today stated, “For the good of the country, President Trump should step aside.”

Menendez’s Tuesday comment followed last Wednesday’s storming of the Capitol by  supporters of the President.  President Trump told his followers at a rally to “demand that Congress do the right thing” and “if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

Five people died in the Capitol attack, including a native New Jerseyean, Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.

Según nj.com, Menéndez continuó diciendo: “Debemos dar cuentas a quienes incitan una insurrección armada y violenta en el Capitolio de los Estados Unidos que deja cinco personas muertas y pone en peligro la vida de los miembros del Congreso, su personal y el vicepresidente. Este tipo de acciones no pueden pasar impunes y debemos dejar claro que en el futuro habrá consecuencias para cualquiera que trabaje activamente para subvertir nuestra democracia. ” No puedo .

The FBI warned yesterday that violent protests in all 50 state capitols and the District of Columbia are anticipated.  There still has been no movement on Vice President Mike Pence’s part to enact the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, stripping President Donald Trump of his power.
