Democrats plan to bring a resolution to the House floor calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the president to be removed from power with support from a majority of his Cabinet. If Pence doesn't act, the Democratic-led House will move to impeach Mr. Trump for an unprecedented second time. Kim Whele, a law professor at the University of Baltimore and author of "How to Read the Constitution - and Why," joins "CBSN AM" with more.
