..Vice President Mike Pence rejected calls to use a constitutional maneuver to oust him.

With eight days remaining in Trumps term in office, the House of Representatives was poised on Wednesday to pass an article of impeachment accusing the Republican of inciting insurrection in a speech to his followers last week before a mob of them stormed the Capitol, leaving five dead.

That would trigger a trial in the still Republican-controlled Senate, although it was unclear if enough time or political appetite remained to push Trump from office.

Even as the Democratic-led House debated a resolution that urged Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to expel Trump from office, Pence sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that said he would not comply.

I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution, Pence said...

So even with the Republican base sending him death treats, even bringing a noose to hang him during the coup and with Pence literally having nothing to lose by invoking it, he still couldn't do it.

Removes numerous benefits afterwards and stops him running again.

It keeps him from running for office again and limits the money and security he receives after his term is over.

Not to mention Trump calling him a traitor and a coward.

Letting Trump off the hook just feeds into his already oversized ego, and is likely the reason he is the person he is today.

It prevents Trump from ever running for office again.
It takes away Trump's yearly salary after he's not President.
It takes away certain powers like Trump not being able to pardon people.
etc.

To be fair the 25th Amendment isn't around for what Trump did, it's around for if they are physically or mentally unfit to stay in office and isn't meant to be punitive. Not that I think this is for sure his reasoning for not doing so, I'm just pointing out that there are valid reasons for him to not want to go down this road

Yeah this is my take on it

Impeachment absolutely should happen though because this is exactly what it was made for

He's not wrong, honestly. They should have just impeached him. I don't know why they bothered with this fucking 25th dog and pony show.
