Vice President Mike Pence rejected the possibility of stripping President Trump of his powers through the Amendment 25, rebuking a bipartisan resolution in the House calling on the Vice President to do so, The New York Times reported.
“I do not believe that this course of action is in the best interest of our nation or is consistent with our Constitution ”, Pence wrote in a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi . “I urge you and all members of Congress to avoid actions that further divide and inflame the passions of the moment,” Pence wrote. He did not mention the name of Trump .
Pence privately indicated the week p asada that he did not support the invocation of the Amendment 25, and his public rejection of the resolution almost ensured that the House would vote to impeach Trump on Wednesday.
