Mike Pence is dumb as a rock, and his stupidity is only dwarfed by his cowardice. That he made a 'decision' that would not plunge the country into civil war does not make him any less of a coward.

A decision that probably would not have worked since Trump had the opportunity to write a letter to Congress saying he's fine and then it requires a 2/3rds vote from Congress to remove him. We couldn't even get a 2/3rds vote from Congress saying Trump shouldn't have tried to kill them.
Pence didn't have the power by himself to use the 25th Amendment to declare Trump unfit for office. It also requires the entire cabinet to say so unanimously.
Additionally, Trump can challenge and say he is fit, or now once again fit for office, and if so its up to Congress to decide, so you're right back to partisan lines.
Impeachment was the correct mechanism in this case... its just too slow and partisan to be useful.
In one short clip obtained by CNN from December 2020, Ivanka Trump told the filmmaker, "As the President has said, every single vote needs to be counted, and needs to be heard. He campaigned for the voiceless."
Weird I recall him demanding that votes stop being counted where he was temporarily ahead.
Did I miss something, or was that a clip of the former VP acting like a regular person but with suspenseful cut scenes and music added? There was no imminent issue and he shelved it for when he wasn't about to do an interview.

He can't make such decisions without running it by Mother and Potato Quayle first, though.

After Trump sent his goonsquad out to kill him.
He hasn't lost any respect from me either - he'd have had to have had some first.
