A resolution calling on Pence to do so was blocked Monday by Republicans. But more votes are expected Tuesday, with an impeachment vote Wednesday.

Trump faces a single charge — “incitement of insurrection” — over the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump is set to leave Jan. 20 when Democrat Joe Biden is inaugurated.
