US Congress,Nancy Pelosi,Politics
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to immediately remove President Donald Trump from office following the deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol.
"If the vice president and the Cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment," Pelosi said.
Pelosi joined a growing number of lawmakers in demanding the end to Trump's presidency, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, either through the 25th Amendment or impeachment despite Trump having less than two weeks left in office.
