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.

both control and fascinate Congress, SCOTUS, and DO"J"
-- while America has had it with all of the pedophiles and traitors.
Not nearly as pithy.
No its not - its only Sedition
Pence is a pussy and a traitor to our country. But I do not think he will obey Pelosi‘s orders.
He’s already said that he does not support invoking the 25th.
Where are all those constitutional experts in the Senate. Suddenly silent. Separation of powers actually means thr executive bows to the will of the legislative branch.
she’s just bringing it on herself earlier than it would have.
people... this is world wide.. not just the US! Watch and say a prayer for Pres Trump.
he has a lot on him...and no one else would do what he is doing for us!
GMTA!
They are scared shiitless
and the dem voters can see it, they feel it, and they know that even in their stupified anti trump dream there is something Very Very wrong about this..
The more they rant the more ppl read of the corporate reactions etc, the more awake they are becoming...
And we see it all as a threat, which we shall Overcome.
G D it Republicans, denounce this insanity!
Witch Nancy ure seems really antsy
What evil hypocrisy.
They are not scared they are evil.
No she’s not! That woman’s got more balls than all our republican reps and RINOS there! She just has so much hatred she’s full of it ...satan has totally and completely taken over her whole damn Botox brain and body! SHE IS EVVVVVVILLLL!
stab in the back, TWICE
You would think Nancy would be celebrating the EC victory. Something isn’t quite right.
Nothing would surprise me at this point.
Wasn’t this the same person that just tried to instigate a mutiny against Trump with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
So The Queen Seditionist thinks she can order Senator McConnell around? She’s gone so mental that she is the prime candidate for mental health care. Pdjt has been doing a very good job and he’s continuing to carry out his duties in fine form despite all the D lies and harassment. He’s the last person in Washington that merits removal
I wonder how her tongue does not burn out of her head with her piously invoking the name of God.
It is beyond disgusting to listen to her taking God’s name in vain, as if she had any regard for Him in the first place.
I wonder who she is fooling.
“ Don’t people see the Constitution and all our Freedoms will be gone with these pigs?”
I think most people see it.
But what can be done about it...the only options to defeat a runaway tyrannical government is a military counter-coup (the fast way) or to have the population go all 1968 on the political perps.
I don’t really expect either.
