He has not spoken with the president since the "Congress" storming.

A source close to the US Vice President, Mike Pence, revealed that he does not rule out the application of Amendment 25 in the US Constitution and the removal of outgoing President Donald Trump, but he prefers to keep this option in the event that the latter becomes less mentally balanced.

While Pence intends to attend the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden as President of the United States of America on January 20, and the source confirmed that the Vice President and Trump had not spoken since the supporters of the outgoing president penetrated the "Congress" building last Wednesday.

CNN quoted a source close to Pence as saying that there are fears in the Pence team about implementing the constitutional amendment and impeaching Trump, due to the possibility of the latter leaving, and taking reckless steps that would put the whole country in danger.

Two other close sources indicated that Trump is very angry with Pence, while the second one is frustrated and sad because of what the US President is doing.

Trump had asked Pence to reject the election results and nullify them in a session of "Congress", but the second refused to intervene, and confirmed that such interference would not be constitutional.

And several US media reported that Mike Pence intends to attend the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, while the incumbent President Donald Trump, who is increasingly isolated in the last two weeks of his term, will be absent.

Relations between Pence and Trump have witnessed a major deterioration since last Thursday, the Vice President endorsed Biden's victory in the presidential elections that took place last November, during an extraordinary session held by the "Congress" in both chambers during the night, after a day that witnessed unprecedented violence in Washington.

Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and broke off the session, in an unprecedented event in Washington, which caused a major shock in the United States and the world.

Five people, including a policeman, were killed during the violence that the outgoing Republican president was accused of instigating through his statements.

The American media quoted a number of senior government officials that Pence, who was transferred to a safe place during the congressional raid, while a number of demonstrators were searching for him in his name, decided to attend Biden's inauguration on January 20.

Biden announced, two days ago, that Pence was "welcome" at the swearing-in ceremony, considering that it would be good for Trump to announce that he would not attend the ceremony, in a final tweet, before Twitter closed his account.

The ceremony will be limited due to the outbreak of the "Covid-19" epidemic.

On Monday, Trump faces an impeachment mechanism, the second in his term, in an unprecedented event in American history.

A text aimed at launching the procedures for impeaching the president, drafted by Democratic lawmakers, accused Trump of "intentionally making statements that encouraged his supporters to storm the headquarters of Congress."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has vowed to act if the president does not resign.

Democratic leaders urged Mike Pence to activate the 25th constitutional amendment, and to declare Trump ineligible to exercise his duties.

Although Pence avoided making a public position on this issue, the New York Times quoted a close associate of him as not supporting this measure, for fear of escalating tension.

Democratic Representative Ted Liu said that House Democrats will introduce legislation today that calls for Trump to be held accountable, adding that there are 180 supporters of legislation to impeach the president, with the aim of impeaching him.

A spokeswoman for Liu said the bill has yet to be backed by any Republicans.

Democratic members of the House of Representatives deliberated official charges, which could lead to Trump being held accountable.

To activate the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution, Mike Pence, Vice President, and a majority of Trump's government must declare him unable to perform the duties of the presidency.

But the possibility of Trump impeachment before January 20, when President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated, is unlikely.

Any accountability in the House of Representatives will lead to a trial in the Senate, which is controlled by the Republicans, and the House is still in recess until January 19.

It is noteworthy that dozens of courts across the United States have rejected, during the last period, the claims of Trump and his campaign challenging the election results.

Sources confirm that Trump is angry with Pence ... the second is frustrated and sad because of the first’s actions.

Democrats are introducing legislation today in the House of Representatives calling for Trump to be held accountable for the purpose of impeachment.
