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.
If not it makes a good novel.
Santilli just repeated all I mentioned previously - again. Sounds like something big is happening. Santilli says Trump just signed the Insurrection Act. Sounds like POTUS just left DC in a military (?) plane.
Pete has some blogger named “Tore” coming on the show, next. Some young person - don’t know what they’ll discuss....
According to one of the videos, Air Force One might have been flying east over the Atlantic.
The other one sounds more plausible: that he is more than safe in Texas somewhere.
Exactly. Medical incapacitation or a catastrophic incident where the President is out of contact for an unknown duration of time and can't carry out his duties.
There's a reason why it was adopted and ratified as a Cold War necessity.
Thats what I was thinking. Trump should do a Intel dump of everyone who is attacking him. Drop info bombs like crazy. Not that it would matter much to liberals.
Pence should wipe his butt with it and send it back , we all crazy over here
And thus, it falls within the Insurrection act
But ask yourself , why is pelousey so desperiate to act so recklessly soon, and with such desperation and detrermination ?
Therein lies the question !
What does she know as to be almost foolhardy ?
they hear the rattle of handcuffs
Who was that?
If Nancy is crazy and it all comes apart...Trump now knows who his enemies are.....so what happens to Pence...?
Can’t carry firearms in D.C..
Why is pelousey stampeding the House into action ?
Line things up here.
They got some of her laptops during the debacle-and thats what it was.
Anyways, they start with the impeachment talk, then Mitch throws a wrench into that. Then the 25th talk. Graham goes on Hannity and BEGS Biden to STOP all of it. Then says if he doesnt, God help us.
Graham was spooked-REALLY spooked. What Graham doesnt realize-and I think he does, is that Biden isnt “thee” man.
Then comes the attempt to gain control of the codes. Biden continues with the tuff talk ignoring all-which most likely is several senators calling for a halt.
Then the internet thing.
What per cent chance does anyone think that this is gonna get nasty? I give it a near run thing. Cant come up with a per cent/odds.
“he has a lot on him”
Hard to tell what you mean
who has a lot on who?
Pence has a lot on Trump?
This looks like another fake news site that sensationalizes stories and tells people what they want to hear.
Lt Gen McInerney talking about....they knew covid was a biological
attack...emergency broadcast system.. impeachment is a distraction...engineered..coordinated...tactical distraction..
Comey sold the hammer scorecard to China...
Special forces were embedded in antifia and they got (the good guys) NancyPelosis laptop...he got a picture of the laptop

Twice!!!
He most likely has dumped the intel. Right to the military guys who back him. Which I beleive, after Nutsys attempt at gaining control of the codes, is where they now are.
I understand that the Pentagon WAS NOT HAPPY about her crime.
