Impeachment
If the vice-president fails to act, Mrs Pelosi has indicated she would convene the House to launch their second impeachment proceedings against Mr Trump.
The president has already been impeached over allegations he sought help from Ukraine to boost his chances of re-election. The Senate acquitted him of these charges.Mr Trump could become the first president in history to be impeached twice.
For that to happen, impeachment (charges) must be brought to the House and passed in a vote.
The case is then passed to the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is necessary for a president's removal.
This milestone has never been reached in US history and there is no indication the Democrats would get those numbers in the Senate, where they only hold half of the seats.
It's also not clear whether enough time remains to carry out the process.
