Mike Pence scraps trip to vote early and will stay in D.C. as Nancy Pelosi unveils 'commission' on 25th Amendment - which he needs to agree to use to remove Trump from office

Oct. 8 - Vice President Mike Pence has scrapped a planned trip to Indianapolis and will remain in Washington, D.C. Friday, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will unveil a 'commission' on the 25th Amendment - a move to remove President Donald Trump from office.

'Nobody's sick. There's no positive tests. The VP is planning on traveling on Saturday and Monday,' Pence spokesman Devin O'Malley said. 'We'll have more information on the vice president's schedule next week soon.'

  
On Thursday, Pence was campaigning in Nevada and Arizona, while Trump remained at the White House, recovering from COVID-19. He was supposed to travel home to Indiana to vote early in the 2020 election...

...[Pelosi]'The president is, shall we say, in an altered state right now, so I don't know how to answer for his behavior,' Pelosi said on Bloomberg Television after a press conference in which she previewed her move on the 25th Amendment.
 

Later Thursday afternoon, she announced a press conference alongside Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat and Constitutional expert, with the theme: 'Introduction of Legislation to Establish a Commission on Presidential Capacity.' 
The legislation the House Democrats plan to introduce Friday would create a 'Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office.'
 

The 25th Amendment, which was ratified after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, lays out how power would be transferred to the vice president if the president dies, is incapacitated, is removed or resigns.

The text of the amendment says the vice president and a majority of either the cabinet or 'such other body as Congress may the law provide' can make this power transfer.

Donald Trump COVID-19: President 'extremely hoarse' in interview, coughs then goes silent

Social media is questioning if US President Donald Trump is really as symptom-free as his physician says after coughing and appearing hoarse on Fox News.

Trump, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 last Friday and spent the weekend in hospital, was speaking to Sean Hannity about his performance in debates in 2016 when he began to cough.

"Last time I had a big problem, they oscillated my mics when I had the one debate. We had three debates with Hillary [Clinton] and I think the first debate…" Trump said.

As he was saying this, his voice became more and more hoarse, before he finally coughed. The line then went silent for nearly five seconds. As it sounded like Hannity was about to say something, Trump returned, saying "excuse me".
A dry cough is one of the most common COVID-19 symptoms.

The moment has many on social media questioning if the President is as well as his medical team says he is.
