Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., called for the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to be used against President Donald Trump on Friday, suggesting he was unfit, during a discussion about his removal of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors.
"It is time to call for Article [Amendment] 25 of the Constitution of the United States of America to determine his unfitness, to determine that something’s wrong with this president. And I would suggest that we move very aggressively to talk about the danger to this country and to our democracy and not play around with this, because this is absolutely one of the most destructive things that this president could do," Waters said during an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weeknight."
Trump removed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook on Monday, alleging she misrepresented mortgage information.
"This stands to basically upend the entire economy. This stands to really deal with what is going to happen on Wall Street, what’s going to happen with interest rates, what’s going to happen with the president of the United States being able to make decisions that he will personally benefit from. And so the world, and certainly the United States, should be watching this very closely. As far as I’m concerned, we have to move very aggressively. It is not about lingering and trying to think that maybe the courts will help us," Waters said on MSNBC.
Cook sued Trump on Thursday, arguing that the president had not met the standard of a removal for cause and requesting a restraining order to allow her to remain on the Federal Reserve.
The case is likely headed to the Supreme Court and marks a major escalation in the growing clash between the White House and the Federal Reserve.

Stupid woman does not even live in the district she represents. Investigate that.
A shame she’s still around doing harm day after day.
We don’t deserve that.
Age 87 and in mental decline since about age 30.
Why do they give her a pass for inciting to riot?

Interfering with National Guard. “If you shoot me you better shoot straight.”

If it were not for the cover up by the communist media, more people would know that the Democrats are a kook party.
She’s glad that congress doesn’t have a competency clause.
Mad Maxine can shove “their democracy” where the sun doesn’t shine.
“This stands to basically upend the entire economy.”
Only if the entire economy is run on fraud.
Is it, Maxine?
Do it, honey.
Call for it.
What a horrid combination. Insanity and bigotry.
She’s not the VP or a cabinet member.
Hey Mad Maxine, who lives in a 6 million dollar home on a CONGRESSIONAL SALARY and who funneled money to her daughter’s checking account..just because you hate Trump’s agenda, doesn’t mean you can get rid of him thats not how it works sweet cheeks
When commies say “Our Democracy” they mean their communist open border agenda
It’s going to be so satisfying when she gets a visit from the FBI with a Fox News crew in tow some fine morning at 4 AM.
For that matter it is harder to depose a president via the 25th than by impeachment and conviction.
The mortgage scams have them all worried. They copy each other’s corruption.
She is beyond stupid.
“Age 87 and in mental decline since about age 30.”
To have mental decline, one has to have a mind.
That ignorant **** has not a mind.
Who has the Oh no not this :::: again meme
It doesn’t take a committee to find out what is wrong with that obnoxious witch. Her words reveal her instantly.
The 25th amendment is not utilized to find out what’s wrong with someone.
I doubt she can site and explain any of the amendments including the first ten.
