1月12日晚8点，美国副总统麦克·彭斯（Mike Pence）正式书面回复众议长、民主党人佩洛西要求沿用第25条修正案罢免川普总统一事。
彭斯写到：“现在，在（川普）总统任期仅剩8天的情况下，你和民主党核心小组却要求内阁和我援引第25条修正案。我认为，这样的行动不符合我们国家的利益，也不符合我们的宪法。”
彭斯续说：“上周，我没有屈服于压力，没有超越我的宪法权限行使权力来决定选举结果，现在我也不会屈服于众议院在我们国家生活如此严重的时刻，玩政治游戏的努力。”
他最后说，民主党和共和党的国会议员避免采取会进一步分裂和激化当下民情的行动，一起努力为局势降温，“让我们的国家团结起来。”
以下是彭斯的全文翻译：
每个美国人都对上周发生在国会大厦的袭击事件感到震惊和悲痛，我感谢你和其他国会领导人在当天重新召开国会、完成人民事务过程中发挥的领导作用。这一刻，向美国人民展示了国会在最需要团结的时候，仍然可以团结。
但现在，在总统任期仅剩8天的情况下，你和民主党核心小组却要求内阁和我援引第25条修正案。我认为，这样的行动不符合我们国家的利益，也不符合我们的宪法。
上周，我没有屈服于压力，没有超越我的宪法权限行使权力来决定选举结果，现在我也不会屈服于众议院在我们国家生活中如此严峻的时刻、玩政治游戏的努力。
你很清楚，第25条修正案是为了解决总统丧失能力或不能行动的问题。就在几个月前，当你提出立法要成立第25条修正案委员会时，你说：“总统是否适合担任职务必须由科学和事实来决定。”
你当时说，我们必须“非常尊重，不能根据我们不喜欢的评论或行为，而是根据医疗决定来做出判断。”议长女士，你说的没错。根据我们的宪法，第25条修正案并不是一种惩罚或侵占的手段。以这样的方式引用第25条修正案会开一个可怕的先例。
在上周的恐怖事件发生后，我们政府的精力都放在了确保有序过渡上。《圣经》说：“凡事都有个时节，天下的事都有个时间……有个愈合的时间，……有个建立的时间。”
这个时间就是现在。在全球流行病、数百万美国人处于经济困难以及1月6日的悲惨事件后，现在是我们走到一起的时候，现在是疗伤的时候。
我敦促你和每一位国会议员，避免采取会进一步分裂和激化当下民情的行动。在我们准备让当选总统拜登就任美国下一任总统时，让我们一起努力（为局势）降温，让我们的国家团结起来。
我向你们保证，我将继续尽我所能，与新一届政府真诚合作，确保权力的有序交接。 愿上帝帮助我。”
共和党人指责民主党分裂国家
1月6日，全美各地民众齐聚华盛顿DC举行集会，当天下午，川普对聚会民众发表演讲时，重申选举存在舞弊、选举结果被窃。同时，他希望彭斯能够拒绝部分涉嫌舞弊的州的选举人票。但川普的演讲并没有任何鼓动民众使用暴力。
当川普在集会上发表讲话以及他结束发言（6日13:15）之前，已经有一群人出现在国会大厦附近随后爆发骚乱。
国会暴乱事件后，众议院民主党人于8日起草了针对总统的弹劾新条款。
众议院共和党人指责民主党弹劾川普总统，只会分裂国家。
众议员里德（Tom Reed）告诉《国会山报》，“我反对弹劾。我认为此时更重要的是专注于疗愈，实现一个和平的权力过渡，因为总统本人已经表示会这样做。弹劾只会激怒认为此次选举被窃取的那些人，现在应该向前推进了。”
众议院少数党领袖麦卡锡（Kevin McCarthy）8日发声明，呼吁大家团结一致，实现权力的平稳过渡。“在总统任期仅剩12天的情况下弹劾总统，只会让我们的国家更加分裂。”
麦卡锡表示，他已经联系拜登，并计划向他讲述如何必须共同努力团结国家，解决美国面临的挑战。
白宫贸易顾问纳瓦罗（Peter Navarro）8日接受福克斯采访时也表示，国会事件是悲剧性的，但不应将其归咎于川普，川普所做的就是要弄清选举舞弊的真相。
WeloveTrump.com网站日前刊登文章和视频，显示退役中将麦肯纳尼（Thomas McInerny）8日谈到美国国会众议长佩洛西急于让川普下台的原因。
他说，1月6日有人拿走了佩洛西的电脑。她急坏了。那天有特别任务者和安提法成员一起进入了国会。现在你知道为什么佩洛西为什么连12天都等不及，要把川普赶出白宫了吧。他们恐惧极了。因为特工已经掌握了相关信息，这是叛国，高度叛国。
麦肯纳尼还提到，中共对美国和世界发动生物武器攻击以改变世界，并通过“锤子计分卡”系统对美国发起网络战干预大选，而民主党与其勾结就是叛国。

After the riots at the U.S. Capitol, Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), blamed the incident on President Trump and drafted new articles of impeachment against him. A few days ago, Vice President Mike Pence officially replied to Pelosi in writing that he disagreed with the removal of President Trump.
At 8 p.m. on January 12, Vice President Mike Pence formally replied in writing to House Speaker and Democrat Nancy Pelosi's request to remove President Trump from office along the lines of the 25th Amendment.
Pence wrote: "Now, with only eight days left in the (Trump) presidency, you and the Democratic Caucus are asking the Cabinet and me to invoke the 25th Amendment. I do not believe that such an action is in the best interest of our country or in accordance with our Constitution."
Pence continued, "Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exercise my authority beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and now I will not yield to the House's efforts to play political games at such a serious time in the life of our nation."
He concluded by saying that Democratic and Republican members of Congress avoid actions that would further divide and inflame the public mood of the moment and work together to cool the situation and "bring our country together."
(Pence's office)
The following is a translation of Pence's full statement.
Every American was shocked and saddened by last week's attack on the Capitol, and I thank you and other congressional leaders for your leadership in reconvening Congress that day and getting the people's business done. It was a moment that showed the American people that Congress can still be united when it needs to be united the most.
But now, with only eight days left in the presidency, you and the Democratic Caucus are asking the Cabinet and me to invoke the 25th Amendment. I do not believe that such an action is in the best interest of our country or our Constitution.
Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exercise my authority beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and I will not yield now to the House's efforts to play political games at such a critical time in our nation's life.
As you well know, the 25th Amendment was designed to address the incapacity or inability of the President to act. Just a few months ago, when you introduced legislation to create a 25th Amendment committee, you said, "The fitness of the president for office must be determined by science and facts."
You said at the time that we must "be very respectful and not make judgments based on comments or actions that we don't like, but based on medical decisions." Madam Speaker, you are correct. Under our Constitution, the 25th Amendment is not a means of punishment or appropriation. Invoking the 25th Amendment in this manner would set a terrible precedent.
In the wake of last week's horrific events, our government's energies are focused on ensuring an orderly transition. The Bible says, "There is a time for everything, a time for everything under the sun ...... a time to heal and ...... a time to build up."
That time is now. In the wake of a global pandemic, millions of Americans in economic hardship, and the tragic events of January 6, now is the time for us to come together, now is the time to heal.
I urge you and every member of Congress to avoid actions that will further divide and inflame the public mood of the moment. As we prepare for the inauguration of President-elect Biden as the next president of the United States, let's work together to (cool the situation) and bring our country together.
I assure you that I will continue to do everything in my power to work in good faith with the incoming administration to ensure an orderly transition of power. May God help me."

Republicans accuse Democrats of dividing the country
On Jan. 6, people from across the United States gathered in Washington, D.C., for a rally, and in a speech to the gathering that afternoon, Trump reiterated that the election was fraudulent and that the results were stolen. At the same time, he wanted Pence to reject the electoral votes of some states where fraud was suspected. But Trump's speech did not include any encouragement for the people to use violence.
When Trump spoke at the rally and before he finished his speech (13:15 on the 6th), a group of people had already appeared near the Capitol building subsequently broke out into riots.
Following the riots in Congress, House Democrats drafted new articles of impeachment against the president on the 8th.
House Republicans accused Democrats of impeaching President Trump and only dividing the country.
Rep. Tom Reed (R-Texas) told The Hill, "I'm against impeachment. I think it's more important at this point to focus on healing and achieving a peaceful transition of power, as the president himself has indicated he will do. Impeachment will only anger those who believe this election was stolen, and it's time to move forward."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) issued a statement on the 8th, calling for unity and a smooth transition of power. "Impeaching the president with only 12 days left in his term will only further divide our country."
McCarthy said he has reached out to Biden and plans to speak to him about how we must work together to unite the country and address the challenges facing America.
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro also said in an interview on Fox 8 that the events in Congress were tragic, but that they should not be blamed on Trump, and that all Trump has done is get to the bottom of the election fraud.
The WeloveTrump.com website recently published an article and video showing retired Lieutenant General Thomas McInerny (Thomas McInerny) talking about the reasons why Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi is eager to get Trump out of office.
He said someone took Pelosi's computer on Jan. 6. She was desperate. There were special task force members who went into Congress that day along with Antifa members. Now you know why Pelosi couldn't even wait 12 days to get Trump out of the White House. They were terrified. Because the agents already had the information and it was treason, high treason.
McInerney also mentioned that the Chinese Communist Party launched a biological weapons attack on the United States and the world to change the world, and launched cyber warfare against the United States through the "Hammer Scorecard" system to interfere with the election, and that the Democrats colluding with them is treason.
