The 25th Amendment can be used to remove a sitting President and was designed to be used in the event of presidential incapacity or disability.

In a letter to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Pence said, “I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution”. The letter reads:

> Dear Madam Speaker:

> Every American was shocked and saddened by the attack on our Nation’s Capitol last week, and I am grateful for the leadership that you and other congressional leaders provided in reconvening Congress to complete the people’s business on the very same day.

> It was a moment that demonstrated to the American people the unity that is still possible in Congress when it is needed most.

> But now, with just eight days left in the President’s term, you and the Democratic Caucus are demanding that the Cabinet and I invoke the 25th Amendment.

> I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution.

> Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exert power beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our Nation.

> As you know full well, the 25th Amendment was designed to address Presidential incapacity or disability.

> Just a few months ago, when you introduced legislation to create a 25th Amendment Commission, you said, “[a] President’s fitness for office must be determined by science and facts.”

> You said then that we must be “[v]ery respectful of not making a judgment on the basis of a comment or behaviour that we don’t like, but based on a medical decision.”

> Madam Speaker, you were right. Under our Constitution, the 25th Amendment is not a means of punishment or usurpation. Invoking the 25th Amendment in such a manner would set a terrible precedent.

> After the horrific events of this last week, our Administration’s energy is directed to ensuring an orderly transition.

> The Bible says that “for everything, there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven…a time to heal, … and a time to build up.” That time is now.

> In the midst of a global pandemic, economic hardship for millions of Americans, and the tragic events of January 6th, now is the time for us to come together, now is the time to heal.

> I urge you and every member of Congress to avoid actions that would further divide and inflame the passions of the moment.

> Work with us to lower the temperature and unite our country as we prepare to inaugurate President-elect Joe Biden as the next President of the United States.

> I pledge to you that I will continue to do my part to work in good faith with the incoming administration to ensure an orderly transition of power. So help me God.
