另一方面，民主党人公布了弹劾特朗普的最新决议草案，同时也在考虑动用宪法第二十五修正案条款令特朗普下台。
据《国会山报》报道，美国众议院议长佩洛西周四表示，华盛顿应该立即采取行动，在特朗普总统任期结束前两周将他赶下台，理由是总统在鼓励一天前对美国国会大厦的袭击中扮演了“煽动”角色。Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Washington policymakers should act immediately to remove President Trump from office just two weeks before his term ends, citing "seditious" acts related to the president's role in encouraging the assault on the U.S. Capitol a day earlier.
美媒：特朗普考虑赦免自己
当地时间7日，《纽约时报》援引两名匿名信源称，美国总统特朗普曾向助手表示他想要在任期的最后时期赦免自己。
据这两名知情人士透露，自去年11月3日大选日以来，特朗普就多次向顾问表示想赦免自己，同时询问是否应该这样以及在法律上和政治上会有何影响等。In several conversations since Election Day, Mr. Trump has told advisers that he is considering giving himself a pardon and, in other instances, asked whether he should and what the effect would be on him legally and politically, according to the two people.
目前尚不清楚在周三的国会冲突后特朗普是否讨论过此话题。

《纽约时报》称，之前没有总统赦免过自己，所以这项“预先自我宽恕”（prospective self-clemency）的合法性也从未被司法制度检验过。
报道称，法学专家们对法院是否认可此举持有不同意见，但他们都认为总统自我赦免可能会产生一个“新的危险的范例”，使得总统可以单方宣布他们凌驾法律之上并使自己免于因任职期间所犯罪行而被追责。... legal scholars are divided about whether the courts would recognize it. But they agree a presidential self-pardon could create a dangerous new precedent for presidents to unilaterally declare they are above the law and to insulate themselves from being held accountable for any crimes they committed in office.
