With time winding down on the Trump administration, House Democrats indicate they want to spend that time impeaching President Donald Trump again.
President-elect Joe Biden will assume the presidency on Jan. 20. Trump said Thursday that he is committed to a smooth transition of power.
House Democrats, however, are looking to bounce the president out of the White House prior to Inauguration Day, claiming the violent Capitol incursion that took place Wednesday means Trump should be removed from office.
With current news reports indicating that Vice President Mike Pence will slough off calls from Democrats to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president who cannot fulfill the duties of the job, Democrats are rallying around impeachment as their last option to get rid of Trump.
On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said that if Pence did not act, impeachment was the next likely course of action.
