As chaos continues to unfold on Capitol Hill, a handful of Democrats have said they believe Vice President Mike Pence Should invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
Under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, the Vice President, along with members of Congress, can impeach and remove the sitting President of the United States. That is what Democrats are hoping will happen. . . .
What's remarkable is Rep. Gwen Moore actually believes Congress can get Trump impeached before January 20th.

Sigh, the 25th Amendment has nothing to do with impeachment. It has to do with removing a President who is disabled and refuses to acknowledge that his disability affects the exercise of his duties as President (cough, cough Joe Biden). If the VP and a majority of the Cabinet agree that the President is disabled, the VP becomes Acting President.
However, if the President sends a letter to Congress saying he IS capable, and the VP & Cabinet say he still is disabled, Congress goes into immediate session and has to vote. Takes 2/3rds vote of each house to remove him.
That will make the next couple of weeks entertaining.
pence already usurped power once today, why not again? /s
Who would want to go through this sh...crap? Donald Trump is as great a man as I have ever witnessed in the political arena. I am old enough to remember John Kennedy. I very much doubt that we will see his like again.
He’ll be imprisoned anyway.
Pretty brave talk given the fact that D.C. was so easily breached and compromised by unarmed people.
I can’t imagine how easy it would have been if a couple hundred thousand protestors had brought their arms.
We all have witnessed the beginning of the second civil war.
Well I am 78 and am as pissed off as I have ever been, screw them all I will be gone in maybe 20 years.
That’s one of the big reasons all this is going on
It’s a warning to anyone else who wants to be like trump
The man left the Church many years ago and attends a Protestant church and has for many years.
Today was a good first step.
What should Trump pardon himself for?
You wanna see some real stuff go down?
Give it a whirl.
They think that will calm people down?
That’s one of the big reasons all this is going on
It’s a warning to anyone else who wants to be like trump
Look what McConnell did to the Tea Party.
Now this.
Today’s activities are too well organized to be ad-libbed. It seems to fall into a game plan of Carville and Begala and funded by Biden, Soros and the Chinese, et al. Since the lead up to the election, the billions of dollars given to Horny Hunter were not all spent on the election the a good part of the funds must have been spent on planning today’s activities. Storming of the Capitol Building was too well organized as the Capitol police were overwhelmed. They are all top notch policemen or policewomen to be woke.
Yeah...can’t wait till the Chinese decide they truly in DC
Trump is an existential threat to the Deep State, and contradicts every belief of every leftist everywhere.
He must be destroyed for their universe to make sense.
These Leftnicks have shown they are both stupid and nut jobs. We know for certain they stole the election. That they deny that fact says they are right for the Cuckoo’s Nest.
