How the 25th Amendment works to remove a sitting president
Thomas Jefferson Signed the Insurrection Act in 1807 to Foil a Plot by Aaron Burr
The Insurrection Act gives U.S. presidents the authority to deploy active duty military to maintain or restore peace in times of crisis. The Insurrection Act was invoked numerous times in the 20th century, most famously when Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division to enforce the desegregation of public schools in Little Rock, Arkansas.
What Is The Insurrection Act That Trump Is Threatening To Invoke?
President Trump threatened Monday to take military action in American cities if the violent demonstrations (in response to George Floyd death) that have been taking place in recent days aren’t stamped out. “If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them,” Trump said in a short statement in the Rose Garden at the White House.
.
MEK NOTE: But what if the Insurrection is being organized and run by the President? Perhaps the Insurrection Act needs some revision. Then again with half of the Congress afraid of the President as in the January 6, 2021 insurrection how would Congress have overruled a Presidential led insurrection? The 1807 Insurrection Act actually uses the term “militia” which has meant non-regular organized military. There might be constitutional arguments over the use of the National Guard. Also using the “militia” original understanding could Trump, if the insurrection had been successful, have designated the Jan 6 mob as his militia protecting the country from the Democratic Party’s left wing subversives (from AOC to Pelosi) as he often portrayed them?

Chronological News/Opinion History of January 6, 2021 Insurection
2021-03-08 FBI Warns White Supremacists Aim To Increase Dangerous Ties With Police, Military: Report Extremists “expressed a desire to join the military and law enforcement primarily to … prepare for and initiate a collapse of society, specifically by engaging in violence against the US government and specified racial and ethnic groups,” the report noted. Racially motivated violent extremists “successfully entering military and law enforcement careers almost certainly will gain access to non-public tradecraft and information,” states the document obtained by ABC. That will enable them to “enhance operational security and develop new tactics.”

2021-03-08 Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren quietly releases massive social media report on GOP colleagues who voted to overturn the election 2,000-page report documenting social media posts by her Republican colleagues who voted against certifying results of the presidential election on January 6. The information compiled isn’t secret, but the report is another sign of the deep distrust that has settled into the US Capitol in the weeks since the insurrection. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, has said that “the enemy is within” the House, referencing the rhetoric and behavior of some Republican members of Congress.
“Like former President Trump, any elected Member of Congress who aided and abetted the insurrection or incited the attack seriously threatened our democratic government. They would have betrayed their oath of office and would be implicated in the same constitutional provision cited in the Article of Impeachment,” Lofgren wrote in her foreword to the report. “That provision prohibits any person who has previously taken an oath as a member of Congress to support the Constitution but subsequently engaged in insurrection or rebellion from serving in Congress.”

2021-03-04 Most alleged Capitol rioters unconnected to extremist groups, analysis finds Trump’s “big lie” about election fraud, repeated for months across social media and traditional media platforms, had succeeded in radicalizing “potentially millions of individuals who have collectively adopted an extremist viewpoint” about the legitimacy of the election, Jensen said.
“We’re seeing a lot of folks [charged] who look like pretty normal people,” he said. “They tend to be older individuals, that were married, with families, that had jobs. These are not hardcore extremists. These are individuals who got caught in a really extraordinary circumstance.” Many of the unaffiliated people charged in the attack might not have even known what an Oath Keeper or a Proud Boy was, Jensen said, “but they know who the president is … and the president was providing a narrative of fraud”. The Chicago report also warned that typical counter-terrorism approaches, such as arresting members of dangerous extremist groups, would not be very effective to confront this complex threat, which may require “de-escalation approaches for anger among large swaths of mainstream society”.

2021-01-14 US Capitol riots: How I came face to face with rioter after he attacked police officer | Exclusive It was January 6. A violent mob had just stormed the US Capitol building. As I spoke to rioters outside, I could tell that one of the men near me – a striking, shaggy-haired man – had been in the centre of the unrest that had played out in the halls of Congress. He was visibly suffering from the effects of the tear gas that law enforcement officers had just released to disperse the crowd. As I approached him, he described what it had been like to “breach” the seat of US government. His next comments were so shocking I assumed they were a consequence of the tense atmosphere we found ourselves in. But cross-referencing my footage of this man, I discovered that our encounter had come just minutes after he had allegedly assaulted a police officer. This newly released footage from The Telegraph of the unidentified suspect may give an insight into his mindset at the time. It may also provide a key piece of evidence that leads to his identification.
