RESOLUTION 

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 

Nancy Pelosi should be removed from her position as 

Speaker of the House of Representatives. 

Whereas Representative Nancy Pelosi assumed the office of 

Speaker of the House of Representatives on January 3, 

2019; 

Whereas since January 3, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has 

spent the majority of the House of Representative’s time 

pursuing baseless and fruitless investigations against the 

administration of President Donald J. Trump and those 

close to him; 

Whereas under the reign of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the House 

of Representatives has passed hundreds fewer bills than

•HRES 1194 IH 

it passed in the 115th Congress, with the majority of its 

attention being turned to committee hearings investigating the President and his aides; 

Whereas, on September 24, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi unilaterally and unconstitutionally announced that the 

House of Representatives would begin an impeachment 

inquiry into President Donald J. Trump; 

Whereas, on October 15, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi incorrectly stated that there is ‘‘no requirement’’ to vote to 

begin impeachment proceedings against the President of 

the United States; 

Whereas, on October 31, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi 

oversaw the first party-line vote to begin an impeachment 

inquiry into a President in the history of our country, 

permitting a resolution that denied the President due 

process; 

Whereas Speaker Nancy Pelosi permitted several House committees to embark on a fishing expedition in hopes she 

could justify her efforts to impeach President Trump, 

only to push through baseless articles of impeachment, 

impeaching President Trump on December 18, 2019; 

Whereas, on February 5, 2020, Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped 

up the State of the Union speech delivered by President 

Trump before the American people; 

Whereas, on August 31, 2020, Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited 

a shuttered hair salon in San Francisco where she received a blowout without wearing a mask in violation of 

San Francisco’s laws concerning the coronavirus, forcing 

the salon owner to do her hair, an action in stark contradiction to her hypocritical admonitions of the President’s actions during the coronavirus;

•HRES 1194 IH 

Whereas in the days following her unlawful hair salon appointment, Speaker Nancy Pelosi cast blame on the salon’s owner for ‘‘setting her up’’; 

Whereas, on September 21, 2020, Speaker Pelosi, while discussing the possibility of a second attempt by her to impeach President Trump, appeared confused and exhibited 

bizarre behavior during an ABC interview, blurting out 

randomly ‘‘Good Morning, Sunday Morning’’; 

Whereas during the tenure of her speakership, Speaker 

Nancy Pelosi has started to demonstrate a decline in 

mental fitness, calling into question her ability to adequately serve the House of Representatives and the 

American people; 

Whereas Speaker Nancy Pelosi, having failed in all previous 

endeavors to remove President Trump, is now calling for 

an invocation of the 25th Amendment, claiming President 

Trump is unfit to continue serving as President; 

Whereas the 25th Amendment provides that the Vice President shall become President ‘‘in case of the removal of 

the President from office or of his death or resignation’’; 

Whereas the Constitution provides two processes for removing the President from office, the first of which is impeachment, which Speaker Nancy Pelosi unsuccessfully 

attempted, and the second of which requires the Vice 

President and a majority of ‘‘either the principal officers 

of the executive departments or of such other body as 

Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President 

pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker’’ a written 

declaration that the President is unable to discharge the 

power and duties of his office;

•HRES 1194 IH 

Whereas any efforts outside of impeachment to remove President Trump must have the consent of Vice President 

Mike Pence; 

Whereas Speaker Pelosi has historically ignored the Constitution’s obligations and requirements and has recently signaled she will do so again in her continuing efforts to remove President Trump; 

Whereas, as Speaker of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is 

third in the line of succession; and 

Whereas Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s unwillingness to abide by 

the Constitution and her recent actions that call into 

question her own mental fitness to continue serving as 

Speaker of the House demand her removal from the line 

of succession: Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep2 resentatives that— 

3 (1) Representative Nancy Pelosi is mentally 

4 unfit to continue serving as Speaker of the House of 

5 Representatives; and 

6 (2) Representative Nancy Pelosi should be re7 moved from her position as Speaker.
