to remove Trump from office
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday joined Senate Minority
Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) in calling on Vice President Pence to
invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office.
Trump “invited an armed insurrection against the United States of America,
” Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol, a day after a pro-Trump mob incited
by the president stormed the Capitol, vandalizing the building and forcing
lawmakers to be evacuated.
Pelosi left open the possibility of impeaching Trump a second time.
Under the 25th Amendment, the president can be removed from office by the
vice president plus a majority of the Cabinet, or by the vice president and
a body established by Congress, if they determine he “is unable to
discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
It would be an extraordinary step before the end of Trump’s term on Jan. 20.
