Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Sunday called on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment.
The announcement comes as a growing number of Congressmembers have called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office.
Below is the text of a letter Pelosi sent to her Democrat collogues:
Dear Democratic Colleague,
On this Sunday, as we pray that God will continue to Bless America, I write to inform you of our next actions, which will be made with the great solemnity that this moment requires.
I want to call to your immediate attention the action to be taken tomorrow morning, when Majority Leader Hoyer will request Unanimous Consent to bring up the Raskin resolution. This resolution calls on the Vice President to convene and mobilize the Cabinet to activate the 25th Amendment to declare the President incapable of executing the duties of his office, after which the Vice President would immediately exercise powers as acting President. The text of the resolution can be found here.
If we do not receive Unanimous Consent, this legislation is planned to be brought up on the Floor the following day. We are calling on the Vice President to respond within 24 hours.
Next, we will proceed with bringing impeachment legislation to the Floor.
In protecting our Constitution and our Democracy, we will act with urgency, because this President represents an imminent threat to both. As the days go by, the horror of the ongoing assault on our democracy perpetrated by this President is intensified and so is the immediate need for action.
I look forward to our Caucus call tomorrow. I am grateful to all Members for the suggestions, observations and input that you have been sending. Your views on the 25th Amendment, 14th Amendment Section 3 and impeachment are valued as we continue. I am answering your communications in chronological order and will do so into the night.
Thank you for your patriotism.
Decorate her cell with pictures of ice cream
LOL. So, the impeachment was by a whistleblower, or so-called whistleblower. ICIG Atkinson made up a rule of law that the IC has jurisdiction over the oval office. The "law" as written doesn't say that, but the law as practices, and nobody in Congress said otherwise, took as a matter of law that the IC has jurisdiction over the oval office.
Regardless of what the words say on paper, Congress just does what it wants, then says "rule of law." Works every time.
Congress is a criminal enterprise.
The fact that the 25th amendment doesn;t apply, does not mean that it does not apply. The press reports this as though it is a serious and valid request, and that the only thing counter is timing. That this would be approriate if there was say a month or two left, but not with only ten days. The public will accept that.
I just laugh at thei "rules" argument and so on. Congress is completly off its hinges. It's an amazing thing to behold. Lunatics. Dangerous lunatics.
When did Ms. Pelosi join the executive branch of our gov’t????
No doubt it will be attached to a fundraising letter
It appears that tonight, the National Guard has been called into DC by Trump, Dulles airspace has been shutdown, and the Vatican in Italy has gone dark —

I just hope someone peed on her desk. It’s a small wish, but a sincere wish.
well now i have seen it all...she reminds me of a chicken with its head cut off running around thinking everything will be alright..darn i’d love to know what was on her laptop...
Next we will see that batchit ceazy botox b*tch standing with her hands on her hips, and stomping her feet. She is such a pathetic corrupt little creature....may her cocaine induced brain rot progress rapidly!
Who the heck is she to order him around like that
Sorry, I have NEVER had any use for Pence.
Never trusted him.
Besides the constant leaks and sabotage coming from Pence's staff, Pence was the key man involved with the two greatest catastrophic failures of the Trump presidency: 1) the destruction of Gen. Flynn and removal of Flynn as Trump DNI (Flynn would have thwarted the Russia coup); and 2) the covid task force, the closing of the Trump economy, and the foisting of Fauci and Birx on us.
From my knowledge of the guy, I have always held Pence in utter contempt.
He had the stage all eyes were on him. He could’ve said for the fairness of this election the American people deserve to feel this election was won fair and square. And I cannot in good conscience vote either way until a full investigation confirms a fair election . That’s all he needed to say. Instead he instigated the wrath of the people and of course antifa infiltrating didn’t help any either. A day before he even made the comment that he might consider not certifying and then he turned around and stabbed all of us! So yes he had a choice ! He Just chose unwisely.
“Trump Impeachment Vote Could Come ‘As Soon As Tuesday’ According To Senior Democrat”
So could other things come as soon as Tuesday — and that’s probably what they’re scared of.
There’s that pic of Nancy’s son or hubby with the small girl with her wrists tied together. Pedophilia is more than icky; it’s illegal.
Of course it is. She knows there isn’t enough time to do this.
Trump just Telegramed...”Nancy I found your laptop”.
Ok. You might be right. I just don’t know.
Only assault is the daily screed from nanzi and her rabid unhinged left.
My spouse, the wise one, is crazy furious because she NEVER. EVER defeated President Trump. She wanted him to heel.
Explains why they’re projecting hate everywhere.
lol
Poor Pence Nancy will wave her finger at him
