Nancy Pelosi does not want Trump to access nuclear codes and demands that he resign soon

---

The president of the United States House of Representatives, and one of the highest-profile Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, said this Friday that she spoke with a military chief to make sure that the president Donald Trump does not use the nuclear codes, and warned that Congress will act if the president does not resign voluntarily and as soon as possible.

She said, this morning I spoke with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, to discuss the precautions available to prevent an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike, the leader of Democrats in Congress. In parallel, the representatives debate the possibility of opening a political trial against the president.

The situation with this unbalanced president could not be more dangerous continued Pelosi, who assured in a letter sent to the Democratic parliamentarians that he was given guarantees that there were countermeasures on the table in the event that Trump decided to launch a nuclear attack. The president is in the crosshairs after the attack launched by his supporters against the Capitol, where 5 people lost their lives.

The Democratic leader also said that she preferred to apply the 25th Amendment (which allows the vice president and part of the cabinet to declare the president incapable of governing) or the voluntary resignation of Trump, but that if that does not happen imminently, Congress he was ready to take action. In his opinion, a second impeachment will have more support than the previous impeachment against Trump, rejected by the Republican majority in the Senate.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives also said, referring to press reports that Vice President Mike Pence opposes invoking the 25th Amendment, that she had not heard Pence say anything about it. We continue to wait for a positive response from him as soon as possible that said exit is applicable as Trump incited the insurrection.
