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.
Spoke to sibling earlier, a dem voter. He cannot see. We discussed over quite a while, me (insurrection act, biden got 68M tops to Trumps 80+M, Wood/powell/others) to his (CNN). He thinks I'm deranged. I think he is brainwashed, but convinced himself he is right and I'm the nut).
I could only say, we agree to disagree, and let the best view win. I also advised to stock up.
the stupidity of liberals... IT BURNS !!!!
ROFL
My spouse, the wise one, says Nancy is crazy furious because she NEVER, EVER defeated President Trump. She wanted him to heel.
2nd try
This. Should be able to see her med list and Biden’s.
Oh my goodness!

It is! “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine” Proverbs 17:22
pelosi you can impeach me THREE times !!! I will wear your partisan commie impeachment like a medal!
Agreed. Everything is a fundraising opportunity, and the Reps can be just as bad.
To bad someone didn’t drop a duce on her desk
Who the hell does she think she is?
The question is : Was her laptop taken to reveal or conceal ?
President Trump’s only defense at this time is to IMMEDIATELY declassify all information relevant to all DeepState crimes (which is why the evil side is so desperate to remove him , yesterday).
It would also be smart to issue full pardons to Assange and Snowden to get their testimonies.
Congress just certified fraud. What’s a little 25th Amendment gonna do?
That ship sailed.
Trump could issue a letter saying he is fine, but if Pence and the cabinet persist it goes to Congress.
Congress would have to meet within 48 hours... but could drag it out for 21 days. All that time Pence would still be President.
Pelosi could run out the clock on Trump, meaning he couldn’t issue any Executive Orders nor Pardons.
the ides of March are coming too....
Against Trump's guys:
Not even close!
Who knows if Trump still has any of his presidential powers.
So, somebody told her to go pound sand with the impeachment.
Now this. Then the attempt to gain access to the nuke codes, and on and on.
