Pelosi, Democrats To Hold ‘Event’ To Discuss The 25th Amendment, Suggesting They’ll Try Removing Trump From Office

In her weekly press conference, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) informed media that she and other Democrats would be “discussing” the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution — the amendment that allows a majority of Cabinet officials, with the assent of the Vice President, to remove the President because he is unfit to hold office.

Democrats have suggested deploying the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office before, but this is the first time that leadership — notably, the Speaker of the House — has seemingly endorsed the idea.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, Pelosi hinted that Democrats would be discussing the issue seriously at their event Friday.

“Tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow, come here tomorrow. We’re going to be talking about the 25th Amendment. But not to take attention away from the subject we have now,” she said.

When pressed for further information, Pelosi demurred.
