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.
Reads like blatant blackmail to me.
There’s a better one-word response for Pence to use:
“Nuts!”
“her own military”
forgive me but I do not think she has any control over any military, if she did she would have nuked every red country in America by now just to show us that she could.
her military.... roflmao
Fixed it for you.
Afraid of who President Trump will pardon?
Thanks, didn’t make any sense the way you worded it b4.
Raskin’s son just committed suicide last week and this is how Jamie spends his time this week? Lord, stop my commentary right here.
Exactly. This is not how winners behave.
Something’s wrong here. Tuesday is the 12th. If President Trump is leaving the WH, that is only 7 more days to the 19th! Why bother with this? I don’t buy most theories of deep state vengeance. Their hatred of Trump is empty and faux; their display is that they feel threatened and cornered.
Ever give 2 weeks notice at a job full of backstabbing politician coworkers? All of a sudden everyone is friendly and nice because you are no longer a threat, you’re gone. Winners would be more gracious, wishing the Trump’s well in their future endeavors, thank you for your service.
Nancy is UNHINGED about something... so is Brennan, and Biden.
yer forgiven. go, and don’t be a dumbass any mo...
Only thing worse than a sore loser is a more sore winner.
Pelosi has now threatened both the President and the Vice President, and has asked the military to join her in a coup by disregarding any orders from the CiC.
I believe Pelosi has handed us a constitional crisis on a silver platter. And in the event of a constititional crisis, congress can be adjourned, yes?
I doubt Pence will do it. He does not want to be known as the guy who stabbed Julius Caesar in the back.
“Et tu, Pence?”
He alsready did!
The 25th amendment doe snot even work like that - the only thing that can activate the 25th is the president being incapacitated due to illness - it was night designed to be a tool for the vice president to carry out a palace coup with the help of the cabinet.
Kind of seems like he stabbed all the people that voted for him in the back.
Roflmao..
Really ?
No FU added, sigh. The quality of troll and self important clowns is really scratching the bottom of the barrel now.
Be one of us or be shown to be against us, to me your just irrelevant atm, maybe a sleep, or just a rest from things till you lighten up.
We all have bad days, we just don’t try to bring them here.
Cheers
G D it Republicans, denounce this insanity!
I guess you just woke up from a coma. THEY ARE WITH THE DNC! They support them!
...or what? What is the foul bitch going to do when Pence doesn’t do it?
Nightmare TV
>>> 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”
Pelosi wants trump out YESTERDAY because she knows that Trump is about to come and arrest her and everyone else for high treason.. including Pence
