MA Rep. Seth Moulton: ‘When the president breaks the law he should be impeached’
Kerry Kavanaugh
President Donald Trump faces a single charge, “incitement of insurrection,” as House Democrats pushed forward Monday with efforts to remove him from office in his final days there.
Democrats first tried to take up a resolution urging Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. That would have needed unanimous consent; it was blocked by Republicans.
Here’s how it played out today on Capitol Hill:
House Clerk: “Resolution calling on Vice President Michael R. Pence to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the cabinet to activate Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Donald J. Trump incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as acting president.”
