Sign: Members of Congress who tried to overturn the election should be removed

All 147 Republican members of the House and Senate who voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election on January 6 must be expelled and removed for delegitimizing and trying to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

On November 3, 2020, former Vice President Joe Biden was elected to be the 46th president of the United States by overwhelming margins in the popular vote and the Electoral College. Despite Biden's decisive victory, Donald Trump and other prominent Republicans commenced a daily assault on the legitimacy of the election that includes filing dozens of frivolous lawsuits seeking to have the results invalidated.

Hundreds of Republican elected officials across the country amplified these false claims, and in doing so, they helped incite the January 6 attack on our democracy at the Capitol building, which left five people dead, including one Capitol Police officer.

And even after this deadly insurrection, 147 Republicans still voted against certifying the election. This is unfathomable. Sign the petition here if you agree they should be expelled.

All 147 Republican members of the House and Senate who voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election on January 6 must be expelled and removed for delegitimizing and trying to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

After the Civil War, the courageous Reconstruction Congress implanted safeguards to protect our government from traitors and others who would seek to destroy the Union. To that end, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment stipulates:

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

During the four years Trump was president, House Republicans pledged their loyalty to Trump above our country. In 2019, nearly every Republican refused to vote to impeach Trump for his numerous violations of his oath of office and his abuses of power. They have proven over and over again that they are unreasonable, condone lawlessness, and are unfit to hold ANY position in elected public office. And two weeks ago, that unconditional loyalty to Trump helped foster a deadly insurrection, one that has scarred our country for years to come. 

ALL 147 Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election should be removed immediately.
