The House voted late Tuesday to approve a resolution begging Vice President Mike Pence to trigger the 25th Amendment and sideline President Trump, a largely symbolic spanking that was a prelude to a bigger fight over impeachment.
The 223-205 vote saw one Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, join with Democrats.
Democrats said the urgency of removing Mr. Trump after last week’s attack on the Capitol demanded action by Mr. Pence.
That is an illicit use of the 25th Amendment, which specifically cites physical or mental incapacitation. It is the Democrats who are actually subverting the Constitution.
