That measure failed following an objection from Republican Rep. On Monday, Raskin was one of a handful of representatives who introduced a resolution urging Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. 'We have a solemn duty to protect our democracy and Constitution,' said Raskins, whose district covers Montgomery, Carroll, and Frederick counties. Via Twitter, Raskin said he was 'Honored and humbled to be named an impeachment manager with a team of colleagues who are serious lawyers and unstoppable patriots.'
