democrats this time will have the 25th amendment to remove the president from office failed last night, and vice president mike pence explained why. >> the previous question is ordered. >> reporter: overnight, the house voting in favor of calling on vice president mike pence to strip president trump of his power after that deadly attack on the capitol. >> the facts are very clear, the president called for this seditious attack. for days he urged supporters to come to washington for the insurrection. >> reporter: but the vote overnight purely symbolic because only pence can invoke the 25th amendment to remove trump from office and hours before the vote, pence wrote this letter to house speaker nancy pelosi declaring that using the 25th amendment would not be in the best interest of our nation.

incapacity or disability and is not a mean of punishment but in his letter the vice president did not defend trump and did not mention impeachment. today the house is expected to approve one article of impeachment, charging the president with willfully inciting violence against the government. >> we're going to walk down to the capitol, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not >> reporter:t meas more anymore. republicans turn on trump. publicly supporting his removal from office. >> to allow the president of the united states to incite this attack without consequences is a direct threat to the future of this democracy. for this reason i will vote to impeach this president. >> reporter: overnight at least five house republicans said they'll vote to impeach including michigan congressman fred upton age congresswoman cheney, the third highest member. cheney, the daughter of former vice president dick cheney, writing, trump summoned this mob, assembled this mob and lit the flame of atack adding there

has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states of his office and his oath to the constitution. meanwhile, in the senate a source tells abc news majority leader mitch mcconnell said he believes the president did commit impeachable offenses. >> mitch mcconnell, who is infuriated with the president, has not spoken to him since before the attack, and he, i am told by two people close to the republican leader, welcomes the impeachment in the house. that said he has not said to anybody that i know of how he'll actually vote in a senate trial. >> reporter: "the new york times" reports mcconnell is, quote, pleased about the impeachment vote believing it will make it easier to purge trump from the republican party. also this morning, republican senator rob portman speaking out urging the president to address the nation and explicitly urge his supporters to remain peaceful and refrain from violence, but trump in his first public appearance since the attack on the capitol showed no remorse and took no responsibility. >> if you read my speech, and many people have done it, and

i've seen it both in the papers and in the media, on television, it's been analyzed, and people thought that what i said was totally appropriate. free speech is under assault like never before. the 25th amendment is of zero sko b haun as the expression goes, be careful what you wish for. >> reporter: despite the expected impeachment in the house today, it's the senate that would need to convict the presveen enough support. they'd need at least 17 republican votes. and even though mitch mcconnell reportedly said he's pleased point impeachment vote, it's still unclear whether there would be enough votes to convict trump in the senate. >> political analysts say the statement from congresswoman cheney could give some republicans the cover they need to oppose the president. our political director rick klein explains what could happen next. >> mona and alex, this statement from congresswoman cheney, a game changer. it suggests that the dam is

breaking among republicans. you could have a dozen, maybe 20 plus house republicans break with their party and vote to impeach the president of the united states of the most bipartisan impeachment has ever been in this country. and it sets up quite a showdown where two-thirds vote is needed to convict in the new senate. that will mean 17 republicans would have to go along. functionally speaking all will happen after the president is out of office, but it does mean that the president could be punished with among other things being disqualified from serving in office again, losing even his secret service protection, staff and other perks that are available to former presidents and ultimately the biggest impact is that this would be a judgment for the history books, a final indelible mark of bipartisan disapproval on this legacy of the president of the united states. mona and alex. >> rick, thank you. and we turn now to security at the capitol. we learned overnight that at asnes wie
