CHEYENNE Wyo. - Flags throughout Wyoming are being ordered to be flown at half-staff through Jan. 13 in honor of United States Capitol Police Officers.
A flag flies at half staff at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, Jan. 10.
WASHINGTON House Republicans blocked a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and declare President Donald Trump incapable of governing after the president incited a violent insurrection last week that resulted in five deaths, including one Capitol Police officer.
Democrats brought the resolution to the floor Monday, and Republican Rep. Alex Mooney of West Virginia objected to the measure, arguing a resolution “of this magnitude” required a full debate, forcing a full House vote expected Tuesday.
“The US House must never adopt a resolution that demands the removal of a duly elected president, without any hearings, debate, or recorded votes,” said Mooney, a conservative House member who has pushed for the decertification of the election results.
