2:32Now PlayingWith impeachment ahead, the House is trying to push the vice president and Cabinet to act even more quickly to remove President Donald Trump from office.
Democrats are set to pass a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke constitutional authority under the 25th Amendment to oust Trump.
Pence has shown no inclination to do so.
Democratic Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon from Pennsylvania urged Representatives to support the resolution.
The Trump administration "has denied any responsibility for the riot and praised the rioters all while reports proliferate that the administration's supporters are planning more violence in the weeks ahead," she said. "This is why this president remains a clear and present danger to the country so long as he continues to serve."
Congressman Tom Cole of Oklahoma argued that invoking the 25th amendment is at the discretion of Vice President Mike Pence.
"We should be very clear about what this resolution actually is," Cole said. "It's an attempt to pressure the vice president into performing a duty he clearly does not believe is necessary at this time."
Trump said Tuesday that impeachment itself is what is causing “tremendous anger” in the country. Meanwhile, the third-ranking House GOP leader, Liz Cheney of Wyoming, announced she would vote for impeachment on Wednesday.
Trump is to face a single impeachment charge - “incitement of insurrection."
