Скачать или смотреть Can Mike Pence invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump? VERIFY

Following a violent riot at the U.S. Capitol involving supporters of President Donald Trump, some politicians have called for the impeachment of the outgoing president. Others have called for Vice President Mike Pence to use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power.

A vice president has never done that before, so what’s Pence’s authority here?

THE QUESTION

Can the Vice President invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from power?

THE ANSWER

Yes, but he needs approval from half the president’s cabinet to do so. Then, in the situation where the president challenges the removal, he needs both chambers of Congress to approve it.

WHAT WE FOUND

The text of the 25th Amendment makes it clear that there are two ways to invoke the 25th Amendment: by the president’s request or by action of the vice president and the Cabinet. #VERIFY #25thAmendment #Trump
