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.
Exactly. If he contests the 25th amendment and the impeachment, his team can put on a defense that would include all the election fraud evidence and declassified documents.
I don’t know what he has planned, but I do know he is not a man to misjudge.
I also believe God has been listening to the prayers of millions of Americans, as well as a lot of non-Americans who want America to stay free.
The Left has lost this one, I hope, because Nancy Pelosi is afraid. Very afraid.
She is afraid and she should be. Most of them should be. President Trump loves revenge and he has the law on his side.
She would not do this if she did not think he is on her side.
Pence has proven himself to be a turncoat.
After seeing these huge tech companies blacklist and delete all kinds of things, I don’t think Trump can hurt them with a dump of declassified damning date. they will just make it disappear and the media wont cover it.
Does he love revenge? Or is it justice he wants? I would think its justice, especially since the American people are the victims in this travesty by the Left.
I hope all of the ones at the top, from Pelosi down, are having some very sleepless nights.
...and they told her to pound sand.
24 hours almost up and Trump may be speaking within the hour.
Now that you show up, it has, newbie...
Why. The sound of ignorant self serving sarcasm by one who feels a join by date on a site allows for the humiliation or denegration of someone.
How socialist of you... The ability to be able to look down upon a person and ridicule them for the age of their date joined as your penultimate excuse.
Does this make you feel better, would you feel better if you knew my original join date on here?
Your attempt at calling me a troll is sadly a fail though you have exposed to others your socialist mindset...very elitist.
Hope your day gets better and your image improves.
Have a nice day.
Well, by all means, please share your former title, Ralf. And share the reason for changing it.
Has someone knocked the chip off your thin-skinned shoulder in the past?
Are you now running from the "law here" for a Hissy Fit?
More likely, you're here trolling for your leftist employers.
ibtz
He wants both.
Omg your so childish..
What my date was... Seriously...
Thin skinned..lol..
Hissy fit.. you going to call me bitchy next?? Lol
I shall give you a well deserved clue.
Seriously, you really are very irrelevant in the bigger picture, and to continue this childish diatribe does nothing to either impress me, oppress me, belittle me nor change my efforts here, .
If you continue this effort you seem so knee skinned hurt about then continue, you just don’t matter chuckles, not one iota.
You can watch from the sidelines, retread.
I'd bet a leftist troll is who/what you are...goodbye.
[Nancy is scared of something]
Certainly appears to be the case.
What is that picture showing us?
hey, DITHF......is that you????
Well, it’s been 24 hours.
Those 24 hours have come and gone.
AND SO HAS SHE!
