25th Amendment Resolution: How IL's Representatives Voted

ILLINOIS — The U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution late Tuesday asking Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Donald Trump from office.

But with impeachment looming, the resolution hasn't swayed Pence, who said in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he won't invoke the amendment.

Here's how Illinois' U.S. representatives voted:

• Rep Bobby Rush, Democrat-Chicago: Yes
• Robin Kelly, Democrat-Matteson: Yes
• Marie Newman, Democrat-Western Springs: Yes
• Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, Democrat-Chicago: Yes
• Mike Quigley, Democrat-Chicago: Yes
• Sean Casten, Democrat-Downers Grove: Yes
• Danny K. Davis, Democrat-Chicago: Yes
• Raja Krishnamoorthi, Democrat-Schaumburg: Yes
• Jan Schakowsky, Democrat-Evanston: Yes
• Brad Schneider, Democrat-Deerfield: Yes
• Bill Foster, Democrat-Naperville: Yes
• Mike Bost, Republican-Murphysboro: No
• Rodney L. Davis, Republican-Taylorville: No
• Lauren Underwood, Democrat-Crystal Lake: Yes
• Mary Miller, Republican-Collinsville: No
• Adam Kinzinger, Republican-Channnahon: Yes
• Cheri Bustos, Democrat-East Moline: Yes
• Darin LaHood, Republican-Dunlap: No

The resolution — which passed 223-205, with Illinois Republican Adam Kinzinger the sole GOP member to vote for the measure — stated that Trump “widely advertised and broadly encouraged” protests that led to last week’s violence and insurrection at the Capitol building, according to a report from NPR. It urged Pence to invoke his powers to declare Trump unfit for office “immediately” and assume all powers and responsibility of the presidency.

"What took place (the Capitol riot) is absolutely intolerable and unacceptable," Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland said in support of the resolution. It is "very clear the president did not discharge the proper duties of office."

Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican, called the resolution "misguided and inappropriate."

"The majority is asking the House to assume a power it does not have," Cole said, pointing to the power of invoking the 25th Amendment that lies with "the vice president and Cabinet alone."

Leaders in the House not plan to begin impeachment proceedings.

Trump would become the first president in United States history to be impeached a second time. To be removed, he would need to be convicted by the Senate.

Trump is seven days away from the end of his term, with President-elect Joe Biden set to become America’s 46th president on Jan. 20.
