The US House of Representatives on Tuesday endorsed a resolution calling on Vice President Mke Pence to remove US leader Donald Trump from power using the 25th Constitutional Amendment, TASS reported.

The initiative was supported by 223 Congressmen, with 205 Republicans opposed.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, has repeatedly called on Pence to respond within 24 hours of the resolution's approval. However, the vice president announced his rejection shortly before the initiative vote began.

Resolutions of the House of Representatives and the Senate have no legal force and are advisory.
