Across the country, more than three million people are protesting against the President.
Sixteen people died in clashes between Morsi's supporters and opponents.
Five of those deaths came when protesters attacked the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters, in Cairo.
Opposition members gave Morsi, until 17:00 Cairo time on Tuesday, or 09:00 MDT, to resign from office, or be forcibly removed.
After the announcement the majority of the police abandoned the government, and joined the protesters.
Then, on Monday evening, the military gave political leaders on both sides forty-eight hours to come to terms.
If they can not, the military will declare the country's path.
Until now, the military has mostly stayed out of matters, only asking both sides to keep it peaceful.
A military coup is now not out of the question, though it seems more likely that they will put in place a council until a new election could be had.
