With few exceptions, GOP is not budging

The House of Representatives approved a symbolic resolution urging Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment against President Trump, after the president's No. 2 has expressed that he would not exercise that option. The move comes nearly a week after violent pro-Trump extremists breached the U.S. Capitol.

The vote was mostly along party lines, 223-205, with just one Republican, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, joining Democrats to vote for the measure.

"I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution," Pence writes. He says the amendment is "not a means of punishment or usurpation," and that invoking it would "set a terrible precedent."

It's obvious Trump is unfit for office. The 25th Amendment is absolutely consistent with our Constitution. It's in its name.

He says the Trump administration is committed to ensuring an orderly transition in its final days and that "now is the time to heal."

Now that people are dead, the Capitol building is wrecked, insurrectionists are still on the prowl, but the GOP has finally had to accept they're not getting the next four years in the White House, it's time to heal. Asshole.

With Pence's response to the 25th Amendment resolution, the House plans to move forward with impeachment proceedings. Trump is just the third U.S. president to have been impeached. He would be the only one to have been impeached twice.

He's the greatest.

In a news conference Tuesday, Schumer said he's asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to call the Senate back into session immediately to begin a likely impeachment trial.

If the Senate GOP  had done their duty on the first impeachment, none of this would be happening.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
