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.
They’re wanting to crush him, his reputation, our reputation as conservative Trump supporters. To make us look nuts/radical so come future elections they can rail on us, marginalize us to ensure their win.
It’s all about power. They could wait 10 days, but totally destroying Trump’s reputation is essential for future victory.

Yes, very true.
He refused to take Trump’s calls for weeks and did not consult the President, or his staff, on lawsuits he filed to block Gomert and others.
‘
Seriously unstable...or like a terrified, cornered rat.
“ President Trump’s only defense at this time is to IMMEDIATELY declassify all information relevant to all DeepState crimes (which is why the evil side is so desperate to remove him , yesterday).”
Trump may get more leverage NOT revealing the info.
Pelosi reveals she is a crazed lunatic again? This is not news.
General Macernerny? i think? spelling?
House to call on Pence and Cabinet to use 25th Amendment and move to impeach Trump
By Devan Cole, Jeff Zeleny and Daniella Diaz,
Run that source through your phony factCheck website.
Right there is a very serious question.
If he is in on the action, then he is OK. What he did during the Electoral count thing was a travisty-and the rumors flew wild and free. BUT, if he has now been taken into the fold and informed by someone OTHER than Trump, who he might not trust, vice versa, then things might have changed.
BTW. Where in the hell is Pence? His family?
“Who knows if Trump still has any of his presidential powers.”
He does unless removed from office.
Why wouldn’t he? because bad press?
It would be delicious if she has emails orchestrating the steal.
Go to hell decrepit Nancy Pelosi.
LOL. 24 business hours, nan?
Queen Nancy forgets that she is not supreme emperor. Still, I suppose she wants her chance to replay the coup attempt that previously failed a year ago.
The power struggles amongst the different DemocRAT/Communist factions are going to be brutal. Almost as brutal as when they banded together to conduct a coup against the people of America in November.
Satan’s whore is trying to rival Ceaucescu when it comes to a ruthless hatred of free people.
“Pence did the best he could with the lack of power he had. He even seemed to feel hurt that Trump cussed him out for not taking some sort of action.”
We all saw how thin the support for the challenge was in the house and senate.....Pence had no options. Those who say different don’t have a clue......
Someone should give her 24 hours to clean the crap off her streets.
She knows by now the Insurrection Act has been signed and they have seen her laptop. She knows they are going to be coming for her. I can’t wait!
He already did what they wanted. I don’t think he wants to do this at all.
Might be time to have another rally at the Capitol. Talk about heads exploding!
Trump has a lot to deal with on top of the hate aimed at him. This that is happening ... he has to handle it to save us.
The world was after him when he was elected instead of hillary they had plans... Trump is a man who can do this....not many can take such a heavy one ... pretty much alone.
barry set us up for a take down.... we almost lost our world... pray for Trump.
