We need a new House rule
A rule that, in any case where a violent insurrection (or riot) occurs on the grounds of the US Capitol, the Speaker -- within 72 hours of the restoration of order in the Capitol building -- may make a privileged motion to bring a Bill of Impeachment against the President to the floor for vote immediately, citing failure to adequately secure the US Capitol grounds and, if applicable, incitement to riot or sedition.
This might encourage willful presidents to ensure the proper security of the Capitol building, but it would at least grease the wheels of the impeachmentprocess in this narrow case.
