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.
Too bad he tarnished his reputation by that Julius Caesar moment. I really did have admiration for him in the beginning but after that stupid stunt he played he to me is a false Christian in my eyes! How can he live with himself after knowing that in the Bible Jesus wept when he knew his disciples were going to betray him and yet how can he with a good conscience sleep at night knowing he just betrayed his friend! 😢
Yeah, with Pelosi saying unimaginable things, I can't see why that thought would begin to start nagging me too. Hmm...
The RASKIN resolution??? Man, my Congressional district is effed up!
And Stimpy Hoyer is mentioned, too.
Combined General and Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Nasty Pelousy believes she is superior to the executive branch Why else would she try to order Pontius Pence to do something to further empower her?
I wonder at what point she will realize...
“They are coming to take her away!!! Ha HA!”
Crazy witch is bluffing. She holds a deuce.
What DC sting operation?
Our minds are...
Dunno lib, but its civil war for sure, it looks like.
Trump might have to do the insurrection act. They’ve just about forced his hand now.
They cannot. They are too busy puddling the floor.
Will Nancy submit to an impartial mental examination as part of the deal? She appears deranged.
Pelosi is losing her last marble.
Or what?
Fake News.
In order, the claims are true(ish), false (check the FlightRadar24 website), and false. VA NG is in DC for security after the protests this week, and the invitation of the DC Mayor and provided by the DEM VA Govenor.
Two videos on FR say he already signed the Insurrection act last night.
If it’s true, Pelosi is playing the media game. She wants her news to come out first so that it looks as if Trump was running away.
Treasonous old hag.
She’s lost her mind. She should be impeached NOW.
Nancy Pelosi has now THREATENED both the President and NOW the Vice President of the United States!
OK..the coup thingy.
That is all correct as I understand it. I also seen, or heard that the pentagon had informed the POTUS of this and they aint happy.
The woman is a dumb C%$t.
it appears some people are sweating about something...
