House debating resolution on 25th Amendment
The House is now debating the merits of the resolution that calls on Vice President Mike Pence and members of the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Given Pence's announcement earlier that he is not going to do so, this debate and vote are considered to be largely symbolic.
Members will be debating for one hour, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans. The final vote on the resolution is expected to begin by 10:30 p.m.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., kicked off the debate. Raskin authored the 25th Amendment resolution.
During a procedural vote ahead of the debate, the House voted to authorize fines against lawmakers who don't wear masks on the House floor: $500 for a first offense, $2,500 for the next. It gets taken out of their paychecks.
