Tweets and Facebook posts Tuesday night are alerting Chicagoland residents including local media of Senator Marco Rubio’s (R, FL) appearance in Oak Brook on Friday in order to protest during 14th district candidate Jim Oberweis’ luncheon fundraiser.

Per the protest invitation:

“Marco Rubio will be at Maggiano’s in Oak Brook at 12pm on Friday, Oct. 25 headlining a fundraiser for right-wing Republican, IL14 candidate, and sour milk magnate, Jim Oberweis. Join us to demand Rubio call for an impeachment of Donald Trump! Make creative signs and see the comments for a post on where to stand.”

It takes 67 affirmative votes to remove a President of the United States, and the chief justice of the Supreme Court would preside over a trial in the Senate.

The composition of the Senate’s 100 members are:

  • 53 Republicans
  • 45 Democrats
  • 2 independents
