Vice President Pence does not want to remove Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi reported

- Disagreement in the party on the issue of removing Trump

Washington Wednesday, January 13, 2021

Vice President Mike Pence does not agree with the impeachment of outgoing President Donald Trump with the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution. He informed Parliament Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he did not intend to remove Trump.

Realizing he was losing the presidential election, Trump provoked his supporters with a speech saying, "Let's go." Let's go to Parliament. Thousands of his supporters stormed Capitol Hill and vandalized it. Some lawmakers then called for Trump to be removed under the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution. Trump's term was just seven days away.

Vice President Mike Pence disagrees with the idea of ​​removing Trump. Trump's term ends on January 20 when Democrat candidate Joe Biden will be sworn in as president. Mike Pence told Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he did not want to resort to the 25th Amendment to remove Trump. He said it was time to hand over power to Joe Biden. We cannot delay the transition process by removing Trump at such a time. He says impeachment against Trump now raises fears of a split in the country. We cannot do that. It is possible that people become more agitated and more violent. Instead, let Trump run out of time.

Mike Pence added that now is the time to put an end to what happened on Capitol Hill last week. Nothing is going to be achieved by removing Trump by impeachment. It is better to forget this issue.

However, the most interesting thing is that the senators of Trump's own party want impeachment action against Trump so that if there is any talk of violence by Trump's supporters in the minds of the citizens, it will be forgotten. Citizens feel that Trump has been punished for his mistake. So Trump's own party senators were in the mood to punish him.
