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.
Poetic.
Remember, this is Nancy Pelosi; The woman who along with Obama said she supports the Antifa terrorist organization
“Trump may get more leverage NOT revealing the info.”
How so?
Once removed he has NO leverage.
Arrest and jail her right now
And all her co-conspirators
Bro why post garbage?
Nothing has changed.
You know how the 25th and impeachment work, right?
Pence isn’t going to do this.
It’s over.
If i have to come to dc its not because i’m there to go camp out.
This woman is freaking the F@#$ out!
She’s scared $hitless..........what the hell is going on?
Or what Nancy? What if Pence doesn’t?
You’ll go through with what you’ve been treating to do anyway?
Everyday something doesn’t makes sense.
What will tomorrow bring?
I would order a pizza and watch Pelosi being cuffed with glee. I bet she will be as mean as a junkyard dog too. Satan doesn’t go easy.
I believe demons have possessed nearly all of them.
He is probably hiding out. You don’t go full traitor and go out in public this soon.
I wonder if the reason the National Guard has been placed in DC is because a large contingent of violence prone well paid lefists in MAGA disguises are planning to be there on inauguration day, no matter who is inaugurated. They'll create a spectacular rampage, and the networks would cover it from a hundred different angles to viciously demonize the whole movement a second time.
They probably need three episodes like the January 6th false flag operation to permanently fix in their viewers' minds how evil and despicable Trump voters are.
Sorry. Looks like this is not one of my better days.
Last time “Trump supporters” went to D.C., it “caused” this ...
He will. No way he is going to let them get away with what they have done him, his family, and us.
This??
Separation of powers means nothing when ORANGEMANBAD is concerned.
Trump must be planning to release a lot of bad stuff if they’re resorting to this kind of action.
Bring it bit**. We want the election fraud evidence to be presented.
Pence just might do it, he already refused to save the country from these domestic enemies despite taking an oath to support and defend the constitution. Him standing there with his wife while he raised his hand and it was all BS, he didn’t have the balls to save the country so why wouldn’t he get on his knees to Pelosi?
Control. The threat can have greater impact than the reality.
Is it blackmail? Not if only the implication is there.
Do you reckon this happens in DC?
> Obviously freaking out over something!
Well, we witnessed probably hundreds of people, some in paramilitary gear with restraints, etc., marauding through the U.S. Capitol shouting that they were looking to V.P. Pence, Nancy Pelosi, and others. This doesn’t happen every day, so there is the off chance possibility that she might still be freaking out about that.
> Not a Q fan
You are at least to be commended for that.
