House Democrats on Monday introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump over his incitement last week of the Capitol riot as Republicans blocked an initial attempt to pass acalling on Vice President Mike Pence to use the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office.
Rep. Alex Mooney objected to the Democrats’ attempt to win unanimous consent for the resolution, meaning the House is expected to reconvene Tuesday to hold a floor vote on the measure. Democrats are ramping up pressure on Pence to take action following Wednesday’s Capitol attack by Trump supporters, who raided the building and forced lawmakers and Pence into hiding for their safety. Five people died during the incident.
The 25th Amendment lays out the procedure for removing a president who is unfit or incapacitated. If Pence does not invoke the amendment, Democrats are expected to hold a vote to impeach Trump as soon as Wednesday.It would be the second impeachment of Trump, following one last year over his pressuring of Ukrainian government officials to investigate then-presidential rival and now President-elect Joe Biden.
The House resolution, drafted by Rep. Jamie Raskin , is a first step in the Democrats’ effort. It calls on Pence and Trump’s Cabinet to use the amendment “to declare what is obvious to a horrified nation: That the president is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office.”
