Collins revealed a plan on Sunday to remove from the House.
He tweeted: "It's clear that Nancy Pelosi does not have the mental fitness to serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives. I'm introducing a resolution to push for her removal."
The representative wrote a tweet just days before asking users to "retweet if you agree" with removing Pelosi as the Speaker of the House.
The tweet amassed over 29,000 retweets on and over 41,000 likes.
It is unclear if any other representatives are backing Collins' resolution or comments on her "mental fitness."
The resolution was announced just one week after Pelosi tried to oust President Trump from office, using the 25th Amendment, due to being in an "altered state" for his treatment.
Collins referenced Pelosi tearing up Trump's State of the Union speech earlier this year and during the pandemic in his resolution, questioning her "mental fitness."

On Tuesday night, Pelosi had a after Wolf Blitzer pushed her over the holdup of D relief package.
An impassioned Pelosi called Blitzer a "Republican apologist," claiming he had "no knowledge" of the details of such relief proposals.

Blitzer said: "[Americans] really need the money right now... even members of your own caucus, madam speaker, want to accept this deal."

The host then pointed to Rep. Ro Khanna, a member of Pelosi's Democratic Party from California, who called Treasury Secretary package "significant."
But Pelosi hit back, saying: "I don’t know why you’re always an apologist — and many of your colleagues, apologists for the Republican position.
"Ro Khanna, that’s nice. That isn't what we're going to do. And nobody's waiting until February."
Pelosi said that she had pushed back against the Republican-proposed relief package because child tax credits and earned income credits were "eliminated."

As the heated exchange continued, Blitzer asked, "Why not work out a deal with [President Trump] and don’t let the perfect, as they say here in Washington, be the enemy of the good?"
Pelosi responded: "Well I will not let the wrong be the enemy of the right."
The host then attempted on numerous occasions to wrap up the segment, only for the pair to continue trying to speak over each other to get in the last word on the topic.
In a roughly-50-second sign-off, Blitzer first said, "Madam speaker, these are incredibly difficult times right now and we’ll leave on that note."
