Members of the US House of Representatives have passed a resolution calling for the removal of outgoing US President Donald Trump under the 25th Amendment, following the chaos at the Capitol last week when the president’s supporters stormed their way into the building.

Members split overwhelmingly along party lines in the vote with just one Republican backing the resolution.

The Vice President and a majority of Trump's cabinet have to send a written declaration to the House and Senate stating that the president is incapable of performing his duties. A House resolution can't do anything to invoke the 25th Amendment. Also... Aljazeera?
