U.S. Senators have taken the STUNNING step of officially calling for President Trump’s removal from office under the 25th Amendment…
In a dramatic escalation of tensions in United States politics, a group of U.S. Senators has formally called for the removal of President Donald Trump under the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The lawmakers announced their position during a press conference on Capitol Hill, arguing that recent actions and statements by the president raise serious concerns about his ability to discharge the powers and duties of his office. While they stopped short of detailing specific medical or psychological claims, they emphasized what they described as “clear evidence of instability and impaired judgment.”
The Twenty-fifth Amendment, ratified in 1967, provides a constitutional mechanism for addressing presidential incapacity. Section 4 of the amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unable to serve. If invoked, the vice president immediately assumes the role of acting president unless the president contests the declaration, triggering a vote in Congress.
Legal scholars note that the amendment has never been used to permanently remove a sitting president against his will. Its invocation would likely prompt an unprecedented constitutional and political showdown, requiring a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress to uphold the removal if contested.
Supporters of the senators’ move argue that the step is necessary to protect national stability and uphold constitutional norms. Critics, however, have dismissed the effort as politically motivated, contending that policy disagreements or controversial rhetoric do not meet the high threshold envisioned by the amendment’s framers.
The White House has strongly rejected the call, with allies of President Trump describing it as a partisan attack. They maintain that the president remains fully capable of carrying out his duties and accuse opponents of attempting to overturn the results of a democratic election through extraordinary means.
As the debate unfolds, constitutional experts say the situation underscores the gravity and rarity of invoking the Twenty-fifth Amendment. Whether the push gains traction beyond a symbolic statement remains uncertain, but the move marks a significant moment in the ongoing political divisions shaping the nation.
