a calling on trump to resign. i think the best way for our country charges for the president to resign and go away as soon as possible. i acknowledge that may not be likely but i think that would be best does not look as though. there is the will or the consensus to exercise the 25th amendment option and i don't think there's time to do an impeachment there's 10 days left before the president leaves anyway i think the best thing would be a resignation. joins us live now from capitol hill as you're hearing their voices will more pressure on the president to resign but whether republicans stand on a 2nd impeachment well nobody i don't think thinks that the president's actually going to step down before in the next 10 days before his term in office is over we heard some republicans come out in that and said you know they think he should step
