After a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, House Judiciary Democrats asked Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office. A Republican congressman from Illinois also backed the effort. “For the sake of our democracy,” the letter said, “we emphatically urge you to invoke the 25th Amendment and begin the process of removing President Trump from power. President Trump has shown time and again that he is unwilling to protect our democracy and carry out the duties of the office.”
