Vice President Mike Pence informed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday that he would not invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
 “I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution,” he said in a letter to the Democrat.

In his letter to Pelosi, Pence preached that this is a time “to come together” and “to heal,” not “further divide and inflame the passions of the moment.”

Another Democrat-led effort to remove Trump from office via impeachment is still underway. Republican support for the plan is growing, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly telling those close to him that he believes Trump committed impeachable offenses last week.
