Murphy Opposes H. Res. 21
Washington, D.C. – On Tuesday, January 12, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H. Res. 21. The bill expresses the sense of the House that Vice President Mike Pence should invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office. Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) released the following statement:
"I oppose this unnecessary and partisan measure. I have full confidence in Vice President Pence. He doesn't need a partisan majority telling him how to do his job. President Trump has committed to a peaceful transition of power and is fully capable of serving out the rest of his term. Attempting to force him out of office will only further divide this nation, especially given last week's events, when it should be a time for healing," said Murphy.
Background
Murphy was unable to vote on H. Res. 21, as he is in North Carolina caring for his wife who recently underwent extensive back surgery.
