House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that Congress will move forward with articles of impeachment to remove President Donald Trump if the vice president doesn’t invoke the 25th Amendment.
The 25th Amendment allows for Vice President Michael Pence and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unfit for office. The vice president then becomes acting president.
In a televised address on Thursday, Pelosi said that Trump incited the mob that stormed the Capitol Building on Wednesday.
“The president of the United States incited an armed insurrection against America,” Pelosi said.
She described Trump as a “dangerous person,” who had committed an “act of sedition.”
Democrats and some Republicans want Trump removed before his term ends on Jan. 20 with President-elect Joseph Biden’s inauguration.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is expected to be named its new majority leader, said that Trump “should not hold office one day longer.”
“The quickest and most effective way – it can be done today – to remove this president from office would be for the vice president to immediately invoke the 25th amendment,” Schumer said. “If the vice president and the cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president.”

Nasty nancy knows a lot about sedition. She practiced it every day for the last 4 years.
She won’t be able to impeach Trump before he leaves office, but once they take over the Senate they can do it “in Absentia” which would diqualify him from ever running for Presidentr Again. It may not pass Supreme Court Muster, but by then they may have the Court Packed.
I’m surprised they caught Romney sitting alone at an airport with no personal security to keep the reporters away. I’m now beginning to understand why Pelosi wanted to Have the Government give her, her own personal military jet to fly her back to California every weekend, which make no mistake, Biden will give her her own space force free of charge to get her and complete stall back to the land of California space cadets.
EVERYONE in congress, who knew about, helped hide and otherwise aided this theft of the election, are guilty of MORE than mere sedition.. YET ITS TRUMP who will be the only one punished….
I did not watch the rally. However you can be sure that the media would be playing sound bytes ad nauseam if President Trump had indeed incited the violence.
It’s the Biden/Pelosi/Schumer version of promoting national unity and address the issue of racial inequality.
Biden, if he truly seeks to unite the USA should pardon all BLM and ANTIFA rioters, as well as Donald Trump and all Wednesday protesters from prosecution with the pledge to arrest, convict and long term jail and any and all who participate in future acts of violence.,,,,,a blanket pardon, unless Trump beats him to the punch before leaving office.
Pelosi and The Vice President elect needs to show their lack of racial prejudice and use money from the fund Kamala created to release BLM and ANTIFA rioters last year ,,,to bail out the people about to get arrested for protest actions Wednesday. Any who are convicted and sentenced to jail should also be immediately released to the public based on COVID threats to their health.
Only in our dreams ! They will never openly seek or act on national unity because disunity was the very vehicle they used to drive over the doors and break the windows of the Capitol,The Senate, The Presidency and the Supreme Court in acts of subversion that created national frustration brought on by Democrats way beyond what normal humans are expected to endure in silence.
YET THEY WERE silent, when pelosi, maxine and others, LITERALLY CALLED on their constituents, to get in the faces, of “Trump supporters” and make their lives a living hell…
YET THEIR incitement to violence towards us, went not only uncondemned, but in some areas PRAISED.
When I saw that protester confidently yet humorously sitting in Nancy’s chair in her office and pointing to something which the caption might have read “Right Here Nancy” I wanted to shout,,,,”GRAB HER LAPTOP and some Hillary communication personal files” and maybe today it would be Nancy getting impeached or thrown out on her ear.
If anyone in this country deserves to lose their job I think that should begin with Nancy Pelosi! She is undoubtedly the most corrupt, bias person to hold such a high office that I can think of. She is a disgrace to her party, her gender, and most of all her country. She is filled with hate and desire to destroy Trump because he made some serious changes and adaptions to things in DC. Not as many as he might have, but they have been on his back since day one trying to destroy him and take him out. That in itself is a slap in the face of the voters who put him in office. This corrupt and hate-filled person needs to lose her position that she has corrupted so viciously. It is way past time for term limits as these people that have been in DC so long forget they were sent there to do a job, not build a kingdom for themselves. Let’s start pushing the term limits situation until they concede and do the right thing. We do not need people building a career and kingdom at our expense in so many ways!

Bingo! You are correct in so many ways.
Unfortunately, the fools that elected her will probably do it again.
Same with EVERY commucrat in office.. Don’t ever expect them to get voted out, any decade soon…
It is disgraceful that our citizens and Congressional Democrats have elected the most hateful, dishonorable, dishonest, hypocritical, traitorous subhuman Nasty Nancy Pelosi to represent them and to be their Democrat congressional leader.
This is a direct indication of their lack of honor, character and morality. 👿
Schumer and Nancy, supporting blm and Antifa. Traitors! Schumer and Nancy should be tried as traitors and use World War II justice for traitors.
Here’s the Democrat plan regarding calls for the 25th Amendment. Let’s say Pence invokes the 25th. Trump is immediately removed from office, and Pence becomes Acting President. Hours later, if that long, Democrats impeach Pence. Not for any actual crime, but because he’s a Republican. Pence gets the shortest investigation and trial ( perhaps a day at most) in History and removed from office. Pelosi becomes President. Or Democrats may just have some “lone madman” (aka Antifa member) murder Pence. Depends on what Democrats decide about their power grip on America.
This is the classic Pot Calling the Kettle Black. She and Her Communist Cohorts actually did commit a Treasonous Act. They began their overthrow of our Duly Elected President before his Inauguration. Hussein, Senile Joe, and the top echelon of the FBI,CIA,NSA, and the Deep State began their War on Donald J Trump. This continued throughout his Presidency culminating with the Fraudulent Election. Where is the outrage from This Bimbo? She’s part and parcel to this Communist Take Over.
