GOP Blocks Democrats’ Attempt to Pass Bill Urging Pence to Use 25th Amendment

House Republicans have blocked consideration of a bill Democrats’ were attempting to pass that would urge Vice President Pence to use the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office.

According to Fox News:

House Republicans blocked quick consideration of a bill calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office amid fallout from last week’s Capitol riot.

Democrats asked for consideration of a bill calling on Pence to mobilize the 25th Amendment, but Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.V., objected Monday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she would bring the bill to the floor if the unanimous consent request was blocked.

The calls for Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment come from top Democrats in both chambers of Congress.

The New York Times has reported that an impeachment charge against President Trump has been introduced:

House Democrats on Monday introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump for inciting a mob that attacked the Capitol last week, vowing to press the charge as Republicans blocked their move to formally call on Vice President Mike Pence to strip him of power under the 25th Amendment.

The dual actions came as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her caucus sought to ratchet up pressure on Mr. Pence to intervene and push Mr. Trump to resign. If they did not, the Democrats vowed immediate consequences for Mr. Trump’s role in an attack that put the lives of the vice president, members of Congress and thousands of staff working on Capitol Hill at risk as they met to formalize President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory.

As expected, Republicans objected to a resolution calling on Mr. Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, meaning that the House would have to call a full vote on the measure on Tuesday. Democratic leaders were confident it would pass, and pressured Republican lawmakers to vote with them to beseech the vice president, who is said to be opposed to using the powers outlined in the Constitution, to do so.

It was a remarkable threat. If Mr. Pence does not intervene “within 24 hours” and the president does not resign, the House will move as early as Wednesday to consider the impeachment resolution on the floor, just a week after the attack. Already more than 210 Democrats have signed onto the charge, just shy of a majority of the House. Several Republicans were said to be considering voting to impeach for the first time, though party leaders were opposed.

The charge accuses President Trump of “inciting violence against the government of the United States.”

But as you can see in the video below, the President seemed to do just the opposite:

    1. THE VINDICTIVE DEMRATS SURE WILL MEET THEIR JUSTICE SOON. AS HELL BECOMES HOTTER, THE DEMS BECOME MORE MAD, BECAUSE THEY KNOW DAMN WELL, THEY ARE GOING TO FRY TOGETHER.

    2. Down under will be really full of Dumocraps when they kick off. Trump didn’t urge violent. Just the opposite. He said “peaceful”. Antifa, BLM and anarchists infltrated and caused the bad press which the fradulent dumos and libertard media wanted to push. How they are trying to prevent the president from runnin 2024. I’m just hoping that we can get more Republicans and Conseratives in Congress in 2022 but unless Dominion and others are banned and along with early votingand stricter counting rules and observers is quashed, we will see the same thing over and over with is the definition of stupidity.

    3. Remember the tech bubble, close tweeter, FB, Instagram accounts, dump their stock if own any, Twiter down 12% today, before they are worthless, stop buying from Amazon, buy direct from the seller/merchant don’t wait DO IT NOW URGENT******* this is how is done, protest from your wallet.

      1. You are right, Pelosi, and the rest of the scumbag democrat/socialists are Deplorable and Delusional, and of course you fit right in with them!!!!!!!!!!!

        1. Well we know he doesn’t work cuz he is on every site. He has a job but it’s making himself look stupid. Watch your back Hess cuz your demise is coming soon. God doesn’t take ppl like you he sends them to satan

    1. I’ve heard that same rumor. What if it’s not true ? Dems have done far worse. Maxine incited riots calling for if you see a republican etc etc ! Where’s the law here ? This is treason and insurrection ! I’m beyond angry. What can we do ?

      1. Thanks Al, I am happy and honored to be called a loser because of my desire for liberty, smaller gov, free markets, just as I was honored to be considered a “deplorable”. Every time a lefty looney throws out this name calling, the gop gains several new voters.

      2. And just WHAT are YOU, ace? Do you have any founding prniciples to which you adhere? What is your guiding philosophy of life? Surely NOT honesty and decency!

  1. We need to impeach biden, Harris, pelosi, schumer, and destroy cnn and msmbc along with several low life slobs on fox

    1. Impeachment is done in the House.
      You lost the House.
      And the Senate.
      And the Presidency.
      You are a weak loser.

      1. Hey folks where is the delete key? Gotta get this A/H off of ALL SITES! Course the new deletes from FB, twitter and the others will welcome his BS!

  2. Who is the one inciting rioting? Who is trying to overthrow our government? Trying to start a military coup, trying to force the vice president to invoke the 25th amendment, trying to impeach the President again after her first political impeachment.

      1. If there is a question of danger of having the nuclear launch codes I fear unhinged Piglosi and mentally incompetent Beijing Biden and Commie Harris!

    1. Sounds like Piglosi is trying to blackmail Pence! Isn’t blackmail of a government official illegal? Since it’s the Democraps doing the blackmailing and control the DOJ, they get a free pass!! Maybe we’ll get lucky and piggy Piglosi will choke to death on her ice cream!

  3. Best PRESIDENT EVER AWESOME. DEMORATS that does tell TRUMP supporters to riot he told them to walk. I guess brain dead Democrats think walking is a riot

      1. They came for a memorable day.
        They got one.
        There voices were heard.
        Except for the nice lady who got shot in the neck.
        Such a shame.
        I really wanted to hear what she had to say.
        She barely gurgled as her body went limp.
        Such a shame.
        That cop will be repeatedly raped in prison.
        By a big Black buck.

    1. No, the Dimocrats know the truth. They are simply trying to pull any trick to get rid of a duly elected president. The vast Left Wing party of thugs are trying to completely overthrow our government!

      1. Please tell me and or show us what the President was doing at that given time – Were you there with him??????

    2. They planned it! The real folks were NOT dressed like the rioters! Look at the pictures shown and the difference is there! If the REAL Trump supporters are shown. PLUS lets not forget how much the mayor hates Trump and all his REAL supporters! Ever notice how its always the Trump folks are bad and in realty it s the rats paying for all the trouble makers. ALL the rioters in dem states? Even read were a blm walked into a dem office and asked for his pay! Or what office they will have in our govt? All on one of these sites! God help us with all the evil in OUR country!

  4. Needless to say, I see the whole choice of those trying to remove Pres. Trump as disgusting, unacceptable behaviour! He was legitimately elected and those who don’t like him have no right to remove him! He has done nothing to make it possible for these hateful people to do so and they should be told that they will not be allowed to attempt to remove him!
    On the contrary, I would be inclined to fire any person who was seeing Pres. Trumps removal!

    1. Their real intent is not to fire Trump. They are trying to set up a situation that will prevent him from running again—ever!

      1. They fear him, because he has such a large following that love this country, 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, etc. and just plain freedom to live safe & happy!!

    2. How about all the anti gov. Tactics that the witch polichy has done against the. Gov. Ripping the speach of. Mr. Trump in half, for starters, she has been a thorn in our ]presidents flesh, such bitterness & hatred, jealous of the president, & is critical of everything he does. Any thing that happens, they want to blame. Our President. That is how low down the. Demon cratic party is. They are so corrupt, they could crawl under a snakes belly with a hat on. Sticking their head in the sand like an ostrich, & refusing to stand FOR the laws of the land. It shows money, popularity & what more can buy off these so called. Judas anti. God politician’s. But there are a few. God fearing. Patriots with a backbone who stands against evil doers. & by THE. Grace of. GOD we shall prevail.

  5. It’s bs that nobody condemned the BLM riots. Our protest was more justified I think plus nothing burned down and the only violence was done by police. Btw I’m pro police. One overzealous cop’s excessive force against Mrs Babbitt doesn’t change my support for law enforcement

    1. The THUGS of ANTIFA were responsible for the violence ! Democrats will not accept this because they are proud of their little Army of ANTIFA THUGS !

      1. Delta found out about antifas plan and used it to grab laptops lol. Nancy is headed for a different squad.

        1. If by some miracle they did get arrested, Harris would just bail them out, like she has been doing, all along. Liberals praise them and call them peaceful protestors. They apparently approve of rioting, looting, assault, burning businesses, and even murder, as long as it’s committed by liberal socialists.

  6. This group of politicians from BOTH sides of government are as corrupt and evil as anything we’ve ever witnessed. The greatest gaslighting of our country has happened over the last four years – they have been absolutely horrible to this president and his family – like nothing we’ve ever seen. HORRIBLE. Pence is an absolute disgrace for not coming to the president’s defense.

    1. I am concerned that nobody seems to realize or at least publish that the real reason for the patriots converging on Washington was to protest the election of Joseph Biden. The Talking Heads the NY Times and other publications seem to have missed this underlying factor. No Buddy wanted Biden as president 79 million people voted against his election. Yes there was some unpleasantness at the capital but the president did not in sight that he told those people to march to the capital and show essentially the legislators that they were a force to be reckoned with. in the presidents remarks there is no evidence of an incitement to riot that was done by some overzealous people probably instigated by someone like Soros.

      1. More people voted for Biden than Trump.

        You are right in that nobody wants Biden to be President.
        The majority of the people do not want Trump to be President.
        That is why we elected Biden.

    2. Yes. there should have been a ten day audit of the actual artifacts (ballots) to determine if they were legit ballots or machine produced. Also an audit of signatures. just recounting the same fraudulent ballots over and over proves nothing. Also, a full examination of the Dominion voting system is in order. Hammer and Scorecard proof?

  7. THIS DAMN DEMS WANT BLOOD AND THEY WANT TO DESTROY ANY CHANCE THAT TRUMP WOULD RUN IN 2024. THEY HAVE TURN TYRANICAL IN EVER SINCE OF THE WORD. THEY WANT A DICATORSHIP INO UR COUNTRY AND THAT HAS TO STOP EVEN IF IT MEANS ARRESTING EVER LAST DEM FOR SEDITION WHICH THEY ARE ALREADY GUILTY OF AND MOST TREASON..

    1. They might stop Trump from running again, but they will not stop us (Real Americans) by thier actions they only made us stronger.

      1. They should own all the cages, remember that Obama built the cages for the unaccompanied children sent over the border. It was Obama’s idea of a youth playground in those cages.

  8. Its funny how they fear Trumps running in 2024 so much they are consumed with their hate to their very soul.

    Meanwhile; we got Antifa/BLM still burning Portland, assaulting its Mayor, threatening numerous Democrats, Covid….. The Biden 1st 100 days will be dominated with Trump news and Trump will be in the headlines for another 4 years.

  9. Those liberal Democrats – and 95%+ are liberal – will only divide the nation further. Do they not know this or are they naive enough to think impeachment won’t hurt them? They aren’t naive ( a few may be), hence they simply do not care. They are a disgrace to the offices they hold..

  10. Who on the staff wrote this article? Both the President and Vice President are supposed to by referred by their titles. President Trump and Vice President Pence. All of you were quick to start with President elect for Biden. Or you already moving to the other side?

  11. With at least half the country supporting President Trump do the democrats and some republicans in congress think pulling a political stunt by impeaching President is a good idea?Seems they are ignoring the reason people are upset.Make elections fraud proof.Democrats support violent protests when they think it benefits their party.

    1. If they continue to get away with this stolen election, we will never have another honest election in our USA.

    2. Less than half of the country supported Trump.
      That is why he is converting Mary Dela Lego to his permanent residence.

    3. They plan it! And does anyone think all rat run states think alike? They are all puppets told what to do as are all the stations! Read that years ago! All stations have a close relationship to someone in DC! There was a list of who is related and how posted! The night or early morning the heads of stations are told what topic and twist it any way they want. Listen if you can stand it. ALL the same BOMBSHELL THIS JUST IN SOURCES TELL US they are not reporters just plain people puppets and lie if necessary!

  12. this old pig nancy sounds like she’s the king or queen of this great country? it’s time to arrest her NOW.

  13. They are doing this to turn the topic away from election fraud and an illegitimate president elect.

    Keep your eye on the ball.

  14. Keep wasting our tax dollars on nonsense.
    Unfortunately, this will be the norm for the next 2 years until the morons lose the house and senate

    1. So what?
      In nine days”special services” will be run by Democrats.
      Democrats will have Democrat laptops.
      So what?

  15. The republicans have to resist everything the Democrats try to do. They have to act like the Democrats did for the past 4 years.

    1. You want the Republicans to be just like the Democrats?
      That’s an interesting political concept.
      Make the kettle and the pot Blacks.

  16. These tactics “should” show the American people just what the democrat’s are up to and what to expect during the next two years (MINIMUM). A usual, the dem’s are trying to use ANYTHING they can beg, borrow, steal (or lie about) to PREVENT President Trump’s return — if you can’t beat them fairly, get rid of them. These actions would not be so heinous if they themselves had not gone through the same thing for over a year WITHOUT a single word of restraint. These people are hypocrites

  17. Time for a 26 amendment to the Constitution so that Congressmen (oh sorry is it “them” )
    can be removed when “them” reach the level of insanity that it appears madam Nancey has reached ? She appears to be very bitter with a craving for power when she should be looking out for and doing the peoples business ?

    1. WANNA bet she has her eyes on b out and spout dirty stuff on the hoe. AND walla she would be in charge! God Forbid!

  18. This is a sad day for our America!!! The Democrat party is the party of thugs and liars. My bet is that they hired Antifa to do the real property damage to the Whitehouse. That is their MO

    1. And the guy with the horns when asked by the reporters said Trump told him to be there! REALLY? SORRY OUR PRESIDENT WOULD NEVER PULL SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT THE DEMONRATS WOULD! AND they think we are so stupid! Just look at all the so called sites deleting any truth we NON B AND H SUPPORTERS! GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW to do that. No unsubscribe button I can find! OH well they will delete me soon!

  19. The 25th Ammendment should be used on Pelosi and Shumer who
    obviously are entering senility with their outrageous demands
    and seditious exhortations.

  20. The Democrats are motivated by nothing other than demon inspired hatred. In my vast experience in and grasp of spiritual things and the word I can say with confidence that what we are witnessing are manifestations of what we’ve termed Trump Derangement Syndrome in the natural but express patterns of people who are demonically oppressed or possessed. Vindictiveness, vengefulness, celebrating someone else’s pain, a great desire to inflict pain on another publicly and with no consideration of optics before the world, etc. to this degree can only be explained in spiritual terms if you understand these things. If you don’t believe in the spirit realm then you will never understand Democrats.

  21. Whenever someone ,in this case the democrats use threats and intimidation they usually always fear something and have something to hide. If there isn’t any evidence against them for corruption and illegal actions then why pursue impeachment? If they have no wrong doing to be exposed then the democrats would just let time expire to the inauguration. May not be over.

  22. What about all the hoodlums the democrats like Polsia hired to burn, steal and kill the American citizens this summer. Wait till God get ahold of these kind of liars, cheats and greedy so called upper class people.

  23. We have to join together and not use the products and services of companies aligning with the Democrats. Hit them hard on their bottom line. Also, don’t watch the news networks because maybe their sponsors will get the message that their ads are not being looked at.

  24. Election was stolen!! But who let this happen?? Most dangerous people in Washington DC! These are deep state or swamp. Mitch McConnell, Cornyn, Linsey Graham & 80 % of GOP Senators. They let democrats committee (Treason) against Trump 4 years. What department’s totally corrupted? John Roberts Supreme Court Chief Justice & other 8 plus 300 federal judges Trump appointed.FBI Wray &all agents, CIA director &all her agents, DOJ Barr & all his lawyers.
    All part deep state , working for US Chamber of Commerce and Communist China 🇨🇳 & Globalist Money. We know how worthless democrats are but we didn’t know all these Republican (Traders)
    Don’t think Bush family is not Traders. Don’t trust Rick Scott he may be the most dangerous.
    God Bless Trump & his family for truly fighting for America & all Thinking Americans. New Party it is big 75 million plus strong.

  25. Pelosi is obsessed with impeachment. It’s obviously a derangement carried over from the failed Russia Hoax and a waste of expensive government time. She seems ignorant of the fact that only eight days remain in this term. McConnell explained it cannot be considered by the Senate during pro forma sessions and the only business day remaining is January 19. She’s conducting a show and forgotten about government business. Perhaps it’s her turn to be expelled.

  26. President Trump,
    Did not incite any violence last Wednesday. That was done by the Antifa Group funded By George Soro’s. The Antifa Group were dressed
    like Make America Great Again Group. President Trump does not believe in violence. It’s wrong the way the Delusional Radical Democratic politicians in Congress are doing President Trump. They could never accept then Donald J. Trump defeating Crooked Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential Election. President Trump has done Superior job as President. He’s accomplished more then any President we’ve ever had. That’s including the Late Former President Franklin D Roosevelt. He did it in 4 and half years and one term something that’s
    never happen before in History.My opinion the delusional Democratic Party should be abolished. They’ve nothing but Dicators. Sorriest day they were ever established.

  27. Washington has done us all wrong. There’s only a few on our side. only 100+ Senators are on our side but they have blocked them from talking to us. They are braking the law of our rights. I emailed Thom Tillis to find out what we can do about this. We have to do this the right way. KEEP PRAYING!!

  28. This is what Democrat unity and heeling looks like! You think it’s bad now. Jan. 2021 will look tame compared to Jan. 2022.
    Every movement fighting against a dictator just gets more entrenched and determined when suppression increases. And suppression and destruction of American Patriots is what is coming! Be ready!!!!

  29. I guess on the 20th Metallica’s song King Nothing will unfold in America! He is not our President he is a FRAUD, Con Artist and a Cheat! He will have no kingdom because he is not a ruler only a thief!

  30. Congressional Republicans need to show the actual speach from Trump to blow this out of the water. He has every right to request a peaceful protest. If not, all of the Democrat governors and mayors need to face the same for encouraging BLM and Antifa to protest, and we know the damage that was incurred because of that.

  31. I personally believe that the dem’s need to be stopped and held accountable for rigging the election and using the foreign country to stage it

  32. Let me ask you this. How do you impeach a civilian? If they can do that then they can impeach, You an me. Lots of luck. They are trying do do what 70 some million can not do.. they are trying to do away with free speech also, get ready you and I are next.

  33. Hey everyone…..Please IGNORE Albert Hess! DO NOT reply to him, DO NOT acknowledge he is even here! If you see his comments just skip right on by! He will then have no power at all! He comments just to get you to respond. If you make him invisible he has no power! IGNORE and he will have to find some other place to spout his crap!

  34. President Trump told NO ONE TO RIOT. He said PEACEFULLY!!!!! – Yet another lie from Pelosi. Democrats are the most dishonest & hateful people., led by her, the evil liar.

  35. This means the Republicans can impeach Harris as she told the rioters, killers, BLM & Antifa that they should continue doing what they were doing.(Burning FEDERAL buildings, looting stores, setting fire to businesses, killing, etc. Now THAT WAS and IS inciting violence against police, and federal authorities. Also, they must impeach MAXINE WATERS, as she publicly said people should push back vs. Republicans wherever they see them, and get up in their face, which her minions did. The WORLD saw this unacceptable behavior. LINDSEY< where r u on this?? Let’s get the ball rolling!

  36. Little by little, little by little things will change and we will see the top of the mountains and feel the winds of gods hands and him saying go now and take care of trump and the USA!

  37. The vile criminals posing as politicians the Democrat Crime Cartel is totally unhinged and bent on not giving President Trump one day of peace in office. What they better remember is one day Republicans will be in the Catbird Seat again and payback will be the order of the day.

  38. Trump had nothing to do with the riots. We had rioting during the spring and summer and the democrats supported it all across the country. Now they want to impeach Trump when he had nothing to do with these. The deranged demonrats need to go! They are going to destroy this country quickly.

  39. All 80 million Trump supporters should start their own conservative version of Twitter as stock holders in it with Trump, Levin, Hannity, Limbaugh, Candice Owens, Laura Ingram, Pete & Brian on Fox, etc, etc!! It would be a great investment to save this country!!!

  40. The Democrats are the party of complete insanity. They are so obsessed with destroying Trump that they are willing to destroy the constitution by setting an extremely dangerous precedent.

  41. Did she file article if impeachment against Harris Ho, Maxine Waters herself nadler, shifty shit gang of 4 including illigal bigamist omar? NO. Select is RACIST PERSON IN CONGRESS.

  42. Remember the tech bubble, close tweeter, FB, Instagram accounts, dump their stock if own any, Twiter down 12% today, before they are worthless, stop buying from Amazon, buy direct from the seller/merchant don’t wait DO IT NOW URGENT******* this is how is done, protest from your wallet TODAY

  43. Disgusting.
    They want to impeach one of the most productive Presidents we ever had and substitute with a corrupt politician who has enriched himself and his family at our expenses

  44. Don’t mistake Pence’s reluctance as support for the President. Pence had his “chance of a lifetime,” and he blew it. He instantly became a has-been. Worse yet, his fecklessness has painted him in the bright colors of treason. That he was of such great cowardice marks him as a tainted non-entity in the pages of history. What a pitiful man. That his soul has been sucked out of him is evident on his face.

  45. Peelousi , is one of things called. A banchee war monger. That is totally mentally disturbed and should be. Placed in a RUBBER ROOM WITH Hillary and kamala for the total remainder of THEIR lives. With NO IF’S AND’S. OR BUT’S THESE WIMEN ARE TOTALY BATSHIT CRAZY AND SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO ANOTHER PERSEN EVER AGAIN FOR NO REASON!!! THEY ARE COMPLETELY WORTHLESS AND A MAJOR THREAT TO OUR COUNTRY AND EVERYONES LIVES IN THIS COUNTRY. AND THE REST OF THIS COMMUNIST DAMOCRAP PARTYSHOULD BE EXECUTED FOR TREASON. AND MANY OTHER CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!! AND BY THE WAY WE STILL HAVE NO PRESIDENT BUT WE ARE SO FAR STILL STUCK WITH A LYING CHEATING THEIVING WORTHLESS COMMUNIST DICTATOR. THAT SHOULD BE THROWN INTO A ACTIVE VOLCANOE OR POND OF ALLIGATORS FACE A FIRING SQUAD AND SHOULD BE DONE BY THE AMERICAN CITIZENS . I WOULD VOLUNTEER TO OPPERATE THE TRIGGER AT THE DIRING SQUAD. JUST CALL I WILL VERY HAPPY TO BE A PART OF MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !!! SO WE ALL CAN WATCH THE SMILES OF OUR CHILDREN WHILE PLAYING . AND US ADUALTS CAN REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS TO COMMUNIST . THE WAY OUR MILITARY THAT FAUGHT AND DIED FOR OUR COUNTRY. THESE COMMUNIST NEED TO BE EJECTED FROM OUR COUNTRY.
    🇺🇸 🇺🇸 TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
    🇺🇸 BEST PRESIDENT EVER 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

  46. THEY DID NOT ALLOW ME TO BE ABLE TO EDIT !!! WIMEN NOPE NOPE NOPE. WOMEN YES YES YES. MOST ARE TROUBLE YES YES YES . BECAUSE BEAUTY COMES FROM THE INSIDE NOT LOOKING LIKE A STREET WALKER ON THE OUTSIDE!!!

  47. It is time to blow the top off. Trump has the opportunity to declassify all pertinent information re the recent events for which he is blamed. Doing so will spotlight the many, many players who lowered themselves beneath the surface and worked their clandestine subterfuge to defame Trump in his last days. We need to know who they are and “process” them accordingly. Mr. President, do declassify the lot. Let the public, the patriots, handle the rest.
