What happens through the 25th Amendment …
If the 25th Amendment is passed in the US House of Representatives, Trump will be the second president to be impeached in American history. In fact the House of Representatives called for Mike Pence to take action to impeach Trump through the 25th Amendment as Vice President. However, Pence’s refusal to do so necessitated a vote in the House. Under the 25th Amendment, the president can be removed from office by either the vice president or a majority of members of the cabinet, as suggested by Congress.
Security enhancement at the Capitol building …
Security was beefed up at the Capitol building during a vote on the 25th Amendment in the US House of Representatives. Trump supporters are known to have resorted to violence during a meeting of members of Congress at the Capitol building to confirm the presidential election on the 6th of this month. Security forces were heavily deployed at the Capitol building in the wake of the recent vote on the 25th Amendment in the House of Representatives. House members and staff were arranged to enter the House of Representatives through metal detectors. These measures were taken to prevent the carrying of guns or other weapons into the house.
Republicans support …
If the 25th Amendment is approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate, Trump will step down before the deadline. In fact, it was argued that even if it was approved in the House of Representatives, it would be too late to get it approved in the Senate. But given the current developments, the Democrats are trying to get the resolution passed quickly in both houses. With Republicans backing it, the process of stretching Trump may not be delayed.
