Mike Pence

The House voted on Tuesday to petition Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump. The vice president adamantly refused to invoke the Amendment to remove Pres. Trump from the office saying, "it would set a terrible precedent."

In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Pence wrote "With just eight days left in the President's term, you and the Democratic Caucus are demanding that the Cabinet and I invoke the 25th Amendment. I do not believe such a course of action is in the best interests of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution."

"Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exert power beyond my Constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and I will not yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our Nation."

"As you know full well, the 25th Amendment was designed to address Presidential incapacity or disability," Pence continued. "Under our Constitution, the 25th Amendment is not a means of punishment or usurpation. Invoking this Amendment in such a manner would set a terrible precedent."

Pence reiterated the statements put out by POTUS and the Trump team, that the Administration's efforts and energy are "now directed to ensuring an orderly transition to the new administration next week."

"In the midst of a global pandemic, economic hardship for millions of Americans, and the tragic events of January 6th, now is the time for us to come together, now is the time to heal," he wrote.

"I urge you and every member of Congress to avoid actions that would further divide and inflame the passions of the moment." He added, "Work with us to lower the temperature and unite our country as we prepare to inaugurate the next President of the United States."

He concluded the letter to House Speaker Pelosi by saying, "I pledge to you that I will continue to do my part to work in good faith with the incoming administration to ensure an orderly transition of power. So help me God."

Pence has maintained his adherence to the Constitution and eloquently stated what many Republicans are feeling. The only way to heal is to stop the madness of the continual barrage against Pres. Trump that lasted the entire 4 years of his presidency.

This decision to not invoke the 25th Amendment was anticipated by the Democratic House, so in yet another dramatic course of action, the Democratic House and Caucus have drawn up articles of impeachment which will be introduced on Wednesday.
