Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt said he sent letters Monday to cabinet secretaries in the Biden Administration calling for them to invoke the 25th Amendment and demanded the president’s immediate resignation.

The move comes a day after Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the Democratic nominee.

“Joe Biden has decided he is not capable of being a candidate; in doing so, his admission also means he cannot serve as president,” Schmitt said. “Therefore, it is in the best immediate interest of the safety of the United States for Joe Biden to resign from office or face removal under the 25th Amendment. President of the United States is not a part-time job nor is it a job for someone who has proven he is incapable of serving in the first place.”
