Democrat lawmakers in the US House of Representatives introduced a resolution on Monday officially calling on Vice President Mike Pence to remove President Donald Trump from office.

Lawmakers also introduced a resolution to impeach Trump, charging the outgoing president with "incitement of insurrection" for his role in the attack on the US Capitol last week.
