Time to remove dangerous chief executive

The history of the present POTUS is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. When Gov. Blagojevich was under investigation and the outcome clear, the Illinois legislature took action to remove the state executive before he could cause irreparable harm to the people.

The time has come to take similar steps to remove the current executive of these United States. The current threat to the integrity of our union and the security of our nation demands action. President Donald Trump has ordered the declassification of a series of highly sensitive documents in a continued pattern reckless disregard for national security. Under the order, classified portions of a surveillance application for former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and "all text messages relating to the Russia investigation" from former FBI Director James Comey and several other top federal officials could become public.

Congress must act with haste to address the unfolding situation if our national institutions are to endure past this generation. The president must immediately resign or be removed in a manner consistent with that of the former Illinois executive.
