US House passes 25th Amendment resolution to remove Trump from office, but Pence refuses to fire the President

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution on Tuesday that is calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to remove and replace President Donald Trump after he was accused of inciting a deadly insurrection at the US Capitol last week.

Citing Trump’s role in inciting “a massive violent invasion of the United States Capitol” on Jan. 6, the day the president had summoned his supporters to Washington to protest the certification of the Electoral College vote formalizing President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, the resolution, introduced by Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., passed by a largely party-line vote of 223-205.

The resolution asked Pence “to immediately use his powers under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments in the Cabinet to declare what is obvious to a horrified Nation: That the President is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office.”

But in a letter sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by Vice President Mike Pence, as the House was taking procedural votes on a resolution calling on him to execute the president’s removal, he stated that he would not invoke the 25th Amendment to seek to remove Trump from office.

“With just eight days left in the president’s term, you and the Democratic Caucus are demanding that the Cabinet and I invoke the 25th Amendment. I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with the Constitution,” Mr. Pence wrote.

They will still impeach him.



Pence would have been a better president than Trump. Republicans wouldn't have lost this election if they were brave enough to give Mike Pence their nomination. Too late for them now.

Mike Pence once betrayed Trump, i don't think he will do it again.
Even if you're Pence will you invoke the 25th Ammendemt? while they have just few days in office.

The impeachment will include pence himself.

pence cannot get the number of votes Trump gave, in fact Trump gave them their highest vote in republican history.... That said Trump is useless, but Biden isn't better, just more politically inclined and less noisy

How did republicans lose the Election? You think Pence would have been able to get 75 million votes Trump got? I hope you know in US history no candidate or president has ever gotten 75 million votes , votes so high the only option the DEMOCRATs had was shameless brazen rigging which was used to manufacture 80 million votes for Biden

Not just in republican history but American history , if not for brazen rigging where did Biden get 80 million votes from

Why is it only losers shouting rigging?

If only Trump were presiding in Aso Rock, Pelosi would have been apologizing the hell out of her knees by now or the DSS, EFCC, CCB, ICPC, IGP, CID, SIB, "SUWAT" would have arrested her full family by now for attempting a civilian coup.

But that’s the difference between a democracy & a "demonstration of craze"!

If u think what we have in Nigeria is how a democracy should be, ure a sleeping chairman sleeping on the bicycle!
