Mike Pence Says He Won’t Invoke 25th Amendment Because It Wouldn’t Be ‘In the Best Interest of Our Nation’
Vice President Mike Pence has finally gone on the record over calls he invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
Pence said in a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi Tuesday that he opposes invoking it because he doesn’t believe it’s “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,” he says.
He said Congress should avoid “actions that would further divide and inflame the passions of the moment.”
Hours earlier President Trump absolved himself of blame and insisted that his speech was “totally appropriate,” something even a number of Republicans don’t believe.

Attention Passengers: CNN Ending Airport Network Service in March
CNN chief Jeff Zucker has announced that the longstanding CNN Airport Network will shut down at the end of March, according to reporting from CNN’s Oliver Darcy.
In a memo, Zucker cited both the coronavirus pandemic and personal technology as the reason for the shutdown. The network will stop operating on March 31.
“The steep decline in airport traffic because of COVID-19, coupled with all the new ways that people are consuming content on their personal devices, has lessened the need for the CNN Airport Network,” Zucker said in the memo. “Having to say goodbye to such a beloved brand is not easy … I am sure most of us have a story to tell about which airport we were at when we first learned of a major news event.”
Launched in 1991, the CNN Airport Network could be seen in some 60 airports throughout the U.S. The network reached travelers at the nation’s busiest airports, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Los Angeles International, and multiple airports in Chicago, New York, and Washington.
