Reports: Pence to Oppose Pelosi and Schumer's Calls to Remove Trump from Office Using 25th Amendment

By Jack Davis

Published January 8, 2021 at 7:17am

Vice President Mike Pence will not bow to Democratic demands that he use the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office, according to new reports.

The amendment states, in part, “Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California demanded Thursday that the amendment be invoked in the aftermath of rioting that damaged the interior of the U.S. Capitol and led to the deaths of five people. The Democrats claim Trump incited the incursion during a rally in D.C. to protest what the president and many of his supporters say was a stolen election.

Pelosi had indicated that if Trump was not removed through the 25th Amendment, Congress might resort to impeachment, even though he is scheduled to leave office on Jan. 20.

Reports from Fox News, quoting “sources inside the vice president’s office,” and The New York Times, citing “a person close to the vice president,” said Pence will not invoke the 25th Amendment.

Although multiple media reports have said some Cabinet officials have discussed the use of the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, The Times’ report said that several Cabinet members support Pence’s decision as a means to avoid further chaos in Washington.

Pence has made no official comment as of Friday morning.

“We have not yet heard back from the vice president,” Pelosi and Schumer said in a joint statement Thursday. “The President’s dangerous and seditious acts necessitate his immediate removal from office.”

House Democrats are developing a plan in the event Pence refuses to remove Trump, according to CNN.

The report said Democrats are considering using procedural vehicles that would bypass the usual committee and investigatory process and go straight to a floor vote on impeachment. Democrats have a razor- thin majority in the House.

“We don’t need a lengthy debate,” Schumer said.

Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Democrats would prefer to see the president removed by the 25th Amendment.

“The sooner, the better,” Jeffries said. “It’s a weighty constitutional matter to go down the road of impeachment, ultimately some form of a trial, conviction or removal.”

However, regardless of any House action, removing Trump from office would require a vote in the Senate, which remains in Republican hands until Georgia officially certifies the votes from Tuesday’s special election and Kamala Harris is sworn in as vice president.

Pence has been under intense pressure this week.

Prior to Wednesday’s vote to certify the Electoral College vote, Trump had repeatedly and publicly pushed the vice president to unilaterally reject the votes from states where Trump believes fraud tainted the results. Pence refused and was criticized roundly by the president.

“I’ve known Mike Pence forever,” Republican Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma said, according to the Tulsa World. “I’ve never seen Pence as angry as he was today.”

“I had a long conversation with him,” Inhofe said. “He said, ‘After all the things I’ve done for [Trump].'”

This is all to damage Trump as much as possible to sabotage any 2024 run by Trump. It's nothing less than that.
