OK. About 15 minutes ago, TWO women, both connected, messaged me at the same time to say they heard Pence will invoke 25th tonight.

Both in NYC, one close friend and one cousin.
That has never happened.
One of them said, keep in mind, today Trump inflicted a deadly mob on a Senate session where Pence was presiding.

Responses:

I can (surprisingly) confirm. Not your friends, but a few of mine. - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:19 16
- (also that bourbon is super smooth) -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 16:45
- I'll believe it when I see it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 16:34 1
  - Right there with you. - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:46
- I hope it's true. This fuck needs to go. It's not like he's working at being Prez anyway. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 16:26
- I wonder if this turns into a race to see which body can get 25th vs impeachment done first. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 16:22 1
  - It could. I've seen stranger things happen, especially when Yertle the Turtle is in panic mode. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:31
- Who are the Cabinet members who'd go along? -- nm - mara Jan 6, 16:20 9
  - I dunno. I'm running down the list right now (and will edit this post as I do). Best guess is a bare majority would vote to remove. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:21 8
    - nobody wants to be known thru the rest of time as the swing vote that kept Trump. -- nm* - Peglegpete Jan 6, 16:34 2
      - yes I stole this idea from the film/play 1776 -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 6, 16:37 1
        
        "For god's sake, Don, resign!" -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 16:38
    - How many does it take? -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 16:28 4
      - Simple majority. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 16:29 3
        
        And I can't remember if it is just Cabinet officials who make the decision, or if "Cabinet-level" officials are included. - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:40 2
        
        "a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide..." -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 16:47 1
        
        Yup. But the question is: Do the WH Chief-of-Staff, CIA Director, Director of National Intelligence, etc. meet that definition. - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:50
AND Trump has not pardoned his kids yet. I doubt Pence will even consider it. -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 6, 16:18
Makes note...loosi's got some high falutin' friends -- nm - decline Jan 6, 16:14 3
- Yeah, but loosi's friends are all icky, germ-laden, pandemic policy wonks. - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:20
- if it happens (and it should). -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 16:15
- nah. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:14
Pence needs a majority of Cabinet members for that. Which of them would possibly consent to that? -- nm - mara Jan 6, 16:13 7
- Wilbur Ross will if they can wake him up -- nm* - decline Jan 6, 16:16
- Is there a rule they can't do it over zoom? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:14 4
  - Not that I know of. But after the president objects, you then need a 2/3 majority in both houses. If you've got a 2/3 majority, then just impeach. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 16:15 3
    - The message matters. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 6, 16:34 2
      - Sure, but if you're Pence or a Trump cabinet member, wouldn't you prefer to leave the message-making to Pelosi? -- nm - mara Jan 6, 16:36 1
        
        Depends if I want to be lumped with the guy in the future (even more than I already am) or not. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 6, 16:45
- The ones who want to deliver a whiz-bang season finale. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 6, 16:14
Whoa. How credible are they? -- nm - colin Jan 6, 16:08 8
- Hard to say. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:09
- They're in NYC, don't see how they'd know? (but I don't know who they are!) -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 16:09 6
  - Ha! It's hard to say. One is a dotcom exec. The other is Goldman exec. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:10 5
    - That doesn't seem to put them in the circle of people who would know. I mean, maybe they're that connected, but... -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 6, 16:12 2
      - it took me by surprise. It's probably nothing. Just call it a data point. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:15
      - Exactly. I know. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:14
    - oh, ask them what the stock market is going to do tomorrow. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 16:12
    - Neither are prone to conspiracies, they both fact check. -- nm* - loosilu Jan 6, 16:11

OK. About 15 minutes ago, TWO women, both connected, messaged me at the same time to say they heard Pence will invoke 25th tonight.
