Dozens of congressional Democrats are demanding that Republicans remove President Donald Trump for his latest threat against Iran, but one lawmaker says the idea isn’t "realistic."
Several congressional Democrats want to invoke the 25th Amendment, a decades-old addition to the Constitution that empowers a president’s Cabinet to remove him from office if he is unable to do the job.
Some Democrats are arguing that Trump’s latest threat against Iran on Truth Social — where he declared that a "whole civilization will die tonight" unless his demands to reopen the Strait of Hormuz are met — is proof that he has lost the ability to carry out his role as commander in chief.
But Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., doesn’t believe now is the moment to pull the trigger on the 25th Amendment.
"I’m getting a lot of traffic about the 25th Amendment after Trump’s mad rants," Whitehouse said on X. "The president is facing serious mental decline; I’m with you on that."
"But unfortunately, invoking the 25th is not realistic right now, given his oddball Cabinet of sycophants and eccentrics, and Republican ‘spines of foam,’" he continued. "We’re going to have to buckle down and win this the old-fashioned way."
Doing so would require Vice President JD Vance and a majority of Trump’s Cabinet to agree to remove him. They would then send a declaration to Congress, which Trump would likely dispute, requiring a two-thirds vote in both chambers to officially remove him from office.
It’s a much higher bar than impeachment and conviction — and a move that has never been used to remove a sitting president.

LOL LOL these are the same idiots that said that Biden was the best Biden ever..Trump is doing what Trump does best and that is basically stooping to Iran’s level in order to scare them, he has NO intention of blowing up anyone..in fact if you read his ENTIRE statement at the bottom he says God bless the good people of Iran
According to Agenda Free TV as reported by CBS News, a cease fire might be in the works as Vance in involved in the negotiations...we will see
Playing right into the enemies hands. Do these reprobates have any idea what they do to this country?
So the dems want “regime change” - except they want it here in the US.
He’s dealing with crazy people in pistiobs of powrt . He has to out-crazy them. Plus, he’s dealing with Iranian officials.
Same idiots didn’t care when Clinton, Obama and Biden bombed things.
Serbia, Bosnia, Libya, etc.
Let me try that again with auto-misspelling turned off.
Trump is dealing with crazy people in positions of power. He has to out-crazy them. Plus, he's dealing with Iranian officials.
I completely agree. No way he will annihilate Iran, he wii agree to a deal, or delay the deadline.
Which means he will fold..all of this for nothing and Iran will get to rebuild their missile supply and will own the Strait forever.
Sure would have been nice if Carter had done this instead of being the cuck that he was and ultimately leaving the job to Trump.
Now that is what I call an optimistic outlook. NOT!!!
Yes. This is known as “mad dog” psychology in warfare. Nixon referred to it during Vietnam. He wanted the North Vietnamese to think he was crazy.
The last minute ‘deal’—where Iran agrees to open the Strait will be coming in the next couple hours. Trump will also claim, which he already has done, the regime change has already occurred.
There is NO regime change, its still the same garbage, except even WORSE..they are executing protestors by hanging them every day, that is NOT regime change
Again, I completely agree. But Trump has said regime change has already occurred, with a regime that is less radical. That means that they are only 99% nuts, and not 100%.
Let’s think about the entities that would loooove the “ouster” of President Trump.
The Chicoms, Russia, North Korea, the EU, Hezbollah, the UN, every Cartel, Tren De Aragua, every US sanctuary city and State, and The Party of Hate / The Party of Death - The democRATS/DemoKKKrats.
With enemies like these, President Trump must be doing something good.
Instead of pallets of cash shipped to our enemies, President Trump is dropping pallets of ordinance.
Faux News goes back to helping Obama and VJ.
Trump existing sparks calls for his ouster from the Dems.
The rats playing the Jane Fonda card.
