Letter to the editor: Trump should be removed from office

It was the summer of 1776 when 56 patriots signed their death warrants by ascribing their names to the Declaration of Independence. They elected George Washington, a handsome, swashbuckling young man, as the general of the ragtag Continental Army. He successfully led this small army against the greatest fighting force in the world. His victory at Yorktown turned the world upside down.

Now we are in the summer of 2020 and we are led by a commander in chief who I think would have difficulty leading a small army of 2-year-olds. In my opinion, his lack of effort has led to the death of over 127,000 American citizens.

The only answer to avoid further carnage of American citizens is to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office immediately.
