If Vice President Mike Pence is unwilling to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Donald Trump from office, House Democrats are prepared to begin impeachment proceedings.
Rep. Katherine Clark, the assistant House speaker, told CNN on Friday she believes Democrats could vote as “early as mid-next week.”
She argued, “Donald Trump needs to be removed from office and we are going to proceed with every tool that we have to make sure that that happens to protect our democracy.”
Clark called every day Trump is in office “a day of grave danger” and accused Trump of inciting a “seditious mob” to riot at the U.S. Capitol.
