Mike Pence Will Not Invoke 25th Amendment<br />to Remove Trump From Office.<br />Vice President Mike Pence has finally responded to<br />recent calls for him to invoke the 25th amendment and<br />remove Donald Trump from office.<br />In a letter addressed to House Speaker<br />Nancy Pelosi, Pence said that he didn’t think doing<br />so would be in the country's "best interest.".<br />I do not believe such a course of action<br />is in the best interest of our Nation or<br />consistent with our Constitution … I will<br />not now yield to efforts in the House of<br />Representatives to play political games at a<br />time so serious in the life of our Nation. , Mike Pence, via 'The New York Times'.<br />Pence went on to justify his decision, referencing Pelosi’s<br />own statement from a “few months ago” when she said that a “president’s fitness” must be determined by “science and fact.” .<br />You said then that we must be '[v]ery<br />respectful of not making a judgement on<br />the basis of a comment or behavior that we<br />don’t like, but based on a medical decision.', Mike Pence, via 'The New York Times'.<br />Madam Speaker, you were right … the 25th<br />Amendment is not a means of punishment<br />or usurpation. Invoking the 25th Amendment in<br />such a manner would set a terrible precedent. , Mike Pence, via 'The New York Times'.<br />Pence then said that Trump’s<br />administration was directing its energy<br />to ensuring an “orderly transition.” .<br />He finished his letter by urging “every member of Congress”<br />to avoid actions that will cause further division. .<br />Work with us to lower the temperature<br />and unite our country as we prepare to<br />inaugurate President-elect Joe Biden as the<br />next President of the United States, Mike Pence, via 'The New York Times'
