‘They are running away’: Clyburn blasts DeVos, Chao for resigning without invoking 25th Amendment

House Majority Whip James Clyburn on Friday accused former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao of “running away from their responsibility” by resigning from President Donald Trump’s Cabinet before invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.

Why are all these official resigning days before their time is up?

Apparently Pence doesn't have the stomach for invoking the 25th (not sure I blame him TBH), so I'd say the rats are leaving the sinking ship. They don't want to be associated with Trump anymore and they certainly don't want to be associated with the pro-Trump insurrection. Who will be the last ones holding the bag I wonder?

My guess is that Pence doesn't want to lie in order to be acting President for a few days.
