US Capitol violence: What happened and what happens now?
US President Donald Trump's opponents in the two houses of Congress have called for him to be removed from office after the violent invasion of the Capitol by a mob of his supporters.
Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer said Mr Trump should be removed immediately. If he is not, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says he could be impeached.
Removal would need Republican support and only a few have so far backed it.
Four people died during the riot, and 68 have now been arrested.
