Pence is in a difficult situation and this may be the best approach...
he may have an unofficial poll of the cabinet and may not think he has enough votes to administer 25th. He probably sees that he would get the majority needed in congress but even then McConnell may balk at this just as he will slow walk the impeachment proceedings.
Knowing how Trump has treated Pence over the last week I do not doubt that Pence would be willing to start the 25th process. But he may think that the threat (now public) may be the best way to keep DT under control over the next 11 days.
I do not envy Pence because he's walking a tightrope and a misstep could be disastrous. [Post edited by Slider at 01/09/2021 9:40PM]
