United State.
Activating this amendment requires that the government, headed by Vice President Mike Pence, meet to vote on the decision to impeach Trump.
All Democratic representatives, who are members of the Representative Justice Committee, sent a letter to Pence, asking him to activate the 25th amendment "in defense of democracy." The deputies considered in their letter that the outgoing president was "mentally ill and unable to deal with and accept the results of the 2020 elections."
