LIVE: House to Debate, Then Vote on Resolution Urging Pence to Invoke 25th Amendment

The U.S. House of Representatives will reconvene for debate on H. Res. 21, calling on Vice President Mike Pence to activate the 25th Amendment to declare President Donald Trump incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as acting President. Then, the House will hold the first vote series on the rule.

Republican Liz Cheney, the No. 3 House GOP leader, said she will vote to impeach President Donald Trump, a major break within the party following the storming of the Capitol last week.

“On January 6, 2021 a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes,” Cheney, of Wyoming, said in a statement. “The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing.”

Another Republican representative, New York’s John Katko, has also said he would back Trump’s impeachment.
