Democrats and many conservative commentators have called for invoking the 25th Amendment to impeach Trump.
Democrats have called for invoking the 25th Amendment to impeach President Donald Trump after his recent threat that “an entire civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said: “Not a single bomb has been dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.” “We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and impeach Trump. Threatening to commit war crimes is a blatant violation of our Constitution and the Geneva Conventions,” Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna said, adding that what the president is doing is a moral crime and if there is life left in Congress, every member should demand Trump’s impeachment because Trump shows disrespect for all the people of Iran, Gaza and Cuba. Former Vice President Kamala Harris said that Trump started the disastrous war without a plan or strategy for how to end it. “This is abhorrent, and the American people do not stand for it,” Harris wrote. “Trump’s recklessness needlessly puts our brave service members at risk, destroys America’s global standing, and makes life more difficult for the American people. We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.”
“The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. He is a genocidal lunatic. Our Congress and military need to step in. We are beyond crazy,” Candace Owens wrote. Conservative commentator Alex Jones also called for the 25th Amendment.
“I am tired of serving in Congress with unethical people who abuse their positions and bring shame to the institution,” said Rep. Ana Paulina Luna. “Congress is rotten to the core and needs an overhaul. The American people deserve better than this.” “This is a very sick person,” Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer wrote. “Every Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this brute war of choice will bear all the consequences, whatever the hell this may be.” “Disgusting evil. Donald Trump must be impeached. When will it be enough for my fellow Republicans to grow spikes and remove him from office?” Ilhan Omar wrote. “An entire civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back.
I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have a complete and comprehensive change of system where different, smarter, less extreme personalities prevail, perhaps something wonderful and revolutionary can happen.
What is the 25th Amendment?
The Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution deals with what happens if the president or vice president is unable to perform his or her duties. It was ratified in 1967 after concerns were raised by events such as the assassination of President Kennedy. If the President dies, resigns, or is removed, the Vice President becomes President.
