Nancy Pelosi Says House May Vote on Impeachment Unless VP Pence Removes Trump from Power
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she would consider a vote on
whether to impeach President Trump if members of his Cabinet and Vice
President Pence fail to immediately remove him from power under the 25th
Amendment. Pelosi formally adjourned the House of Representatives until
after Biden's inauguration on January 20, so any vote on impeachment
would require that lawmakers return to Washington. Senate Republican
Leader Mitch Mc Connell has adjourned the Senate until January 19.
