The U.S. House of Representatives is taking up a resolution that would call on Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and take over President Trump's duties. The effort comes as the House is also pursuing a second impeachment against the president over the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Watch the House proceedings live below.  You can also listen to NPR's live special coverage on both of Blue Ridge Public radio's channels starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
