US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi told lawmakers late on Sunday that they would first vote on a resolution this week calling on Vice President Mike Pence and the government to remove President Donald Trump from office before moving to impeachment.
Pelosi confirmed in a letter that the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on Monday or Tuesday on a resolution urging Pence to resort to the 25th amendment to the US Constitution that allows him and the government to dismiss the president if he is unable to perform his official duties.
After that, “the House of Representatives will proceed with introducing accountability legislation,” she added.
