House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer have called for President Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment.

“I join the Senate Democratic leader in calling on the vice president to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th amendment,” Pelosi said at a news conference Wednesday. “If the vice president and Cabinet do not act the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment.”

Pelosi said she does not expect they will wait long for Vice President Mike Pence to respond to the call. “It will be yes or it will be no,” she said.
