Speaker Nancy Pelosi is seeking a resolution in the House calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Under the 25th amendment to the US constitution, a US president can declare they are unable to carry out their duties, or members of government can decide this for them.
Section 3 of the 25th Amendment addresses the transfer of presidential powers to the Vice President – in this case Mike Pence – when the President declares that he or she is unable to fulfill the powers and duties of the office.
