John Bercow should stand down for violating his duty as Speaker.

Petition Details

The Speaker is responsible for maintaining order during debate and must also remain neutral. By condemning President Trump's visit and expressing his own views on the matter he has undermined Mrs. May and also abused his position as Speaker. He did not maintain order and he did not remain neutral.

The resignation of the Speaker is a personal decision for the Speaker, and is therefore not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.
