"Because the president is clearly unhinged, I've also called on Mike Pence and members of the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the immediate removal of President Trump from office," said Takano.

Rep. Takano said he supports the articles of impeachment House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could introduce on Monday.

Several Democrats have also spoken out in favor of impeachment.
