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.

Black man/woman/it shooting unarmed woman in Capitol Bldg? He was possibly not a cop/guard? How about maybe a congressit?

Pence will comply. Remember that he backed down to the gay intimidators in Indiana.
Choose carefully Mr. Vice President, your decision could make the difference in whether you beat Benedict Arnold or merely John Walker for your position on the list of worst traitors in American history.
I wonder what she is panicking about.
Nancy is scared of something. Where is your laptop Nancy? LOL
Why are so many high elite demorats so scared of what is coming? Add facebook and other left wing on line sites?
Oh, btw, I hope he goes scorched earth. ;)
if he does he will invoke his eo before they vote, he probably already has, which is why multi state guard is deployed. Their vote is meaningless at that point, lock down, lock up, clean up..
I still hope Pence was not the bad guy, somehow was part of the plan..
Whoa! Who the hell is that? And I didnt quite catch that, is he saying Pelosi committed treason or Trump? And we do not have “high treason” in the USA, we only have “treason”. High treason is a term the British use.
baker act, a Florida? Lol
May she end up the same way!!
“Control. The threat can have greater impact than the reality.”
He already has all the leverage and control he can have1 and they are moving ahead with removing him at warp speed so as to eliminate that threat!
Thanks. Listening now.
This makes me sick. I showed them to a friend. She said liberals will say he was helping a little girl at thanksgiving at a burn center.
That evil demonic hag is mocking God every time she opens her mouth!! Being prayerful when impeaching a President that has done nothing wrong (the first one), talking about she loves everybody because of her Catholic faith, now praying for God to save America when she and her henchmen are trying to destroy it at every turn......momma told me don’t mock God, He may strike you down. God knows Nasty’s black heart.......
her brain is a mixture of crystallized botox and epstein lace
that talk will wreck the movement....
Keep thinking that if it makes you feel better. We already have people snitching on their neighbors for not complying with the Cover rules, sort of like the East Germans had no trouble ratting out their neighbors.
as they hand her the grand jury summons without bail..and Trump dissolves congress..under eo, priceless.
She has been that ego trip ever since the state of the union speech shred.
She invokes God in the first sentence, and I’m sure she also continues to pray for Trump “all the time” as she claimed.
What a piece of work she is.
