Did congress call for the president resignation

1. What the reporting actually highlights: a historic shutdown and budget fights

Major items in the supplied sources concentrate on the 2025 federal government shutdown — described as the longest in U.S. history at 35–43 days in different accounts — and intense budget battles between the White House and Congress, not an impeachment-or-resignation campaign by the full Congress ^{[2] [4] [3]}. News outlets like CNN, PBS, Newsweek and summary trackers emphasize funding impasses, rescissions, and partisan maneuvers around continuing resolutions rather than a congressional demand that the president step down ^{[5] [6] [3]}.

2. Where calls for resignation typically appear — and they’re not visible here

When Congress or prominent members publicly call for a president’s resignation, coverage usually cites specific resolutions, floor speeches, or statements by party leaders. The search results show statements about negotiating budgets, criticizing administration actions, and members resigning from Congress — but none of the results cite an official House or Senate resolution or a clear, sustained push by congressional leadership calling for the president’s resignation ^{[7] [8]}. Therefore, available sources do not document such a call (not found in current reporting).

3. Distinguishing individual criticism from an institutional call

Several sources record sharp criticism of the administration — for example, Democrats warning about policy choices and members urging stronger responses — but criticism from opposition members or individual lawmakers is not the same as “Congress” collectively calling for resignation ^{[6] [7]}. The supplied material contains criticism about policy and governance during the shutdown and mentions members’ individual resignations from Congress, but not a unified congressional demand for the president to resign ^{[6] [8]}.

4. Specific items the sources do document

The results document concrete legislative and procedural developments: use of rescissions and the Rescissions Act of 2025, which altered funding ^{[1] [2]}; the prolonged federal shutdown beginning October 1, 2025 and lasting into November in multiple accounts ^{[2] [4] [3]}; and news of individual congressional resignations (e.g., Rep. Mark Green) unrelated to forcing a presidential resignation ^[8]. None of these items equate to Congress formally demanding the president step down ^{[1] [2] [8]}.

5. Alternative explanations readers should consider

Because the supplied reporting focuses heavily on budget standoffs and the human and programmatic impacts of a shutdown, some readers may misinterpret intense congressional rhetoric or legal maneuvers (like rescissions) as calls for resignation. That’s a category error: budget fights and administrative litigation are legislative and partisan tools, not institutional removal or resignation demands, which would typically involve impeachment inquiries, resignation letters, or explicit motions — none of which are present in the current set of sources ^{[9] [1]}.

6. Limits of this assessment and recommended follow-ups

This analysis is limited to the sources you gave. If you want confirmation about any specific statement that “Congress called for the president’s resignation,” ask for targeted searches of congressional floor transcripts, formal resolutions, or statements from Speaker or Senate Majority/Minority Leaders. Those documents would most reliably show whether an institutional call existed — current reporting in this set does not contain such evidence (not found in current reporting).

Summary: reporting in these search results documents a prolonged 2025 shutdown, rescissions and partisan conflict — but no explicit, chamber-wide congressional call for the president to resign is present in the supplied material ^{[2] [1] [3]}.
