This resolution calls on the Vice President to convene and mobilize the Cabinet to activate the 25th Amendment to declare the President incapable of executing the duties of his office, after which the Vice President would immediately exercise powers as acting President. I want to call to your immediate attention the action to be taken tomorrow morning, when Majority Leader Hoyer will request Unanimous Consent to bring up the Raskin resolution.
On this Sunday, as we pray that God will continue to Bless America, I write to inform you of our next actions, which will be made with the great solemnity that this moment requires.

#RASKIN RESOLUTION TRIAL#

Then, if Pence does not act, House members plan to bring an impeachment resolution to the floor, citing Donald Trump with inciting the mob attack on the Capitol on Wednesday. “We are calling on the Vice President to respond within 24 hours,” Pelosi wrote.
