Summary
Dozens of congressional Democrats are demanding that Republicans remove President Donald Trump for his latest threat against Iran. Some Democrats want to invoke the 25th Amendment, which empowers a president’s Cabinet to remove him from office if he is unable to do the job. However, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., believes that invoking the 25th Amendment is not realistic right now, given Trump’s Cabinet and Republican support.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Democrats are seeking recourse over Trump’s Easter comments and his latest post, with some calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said that if he were in Trump’s Cabinet, he would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, defended Trump’s actions, saying that he is using leverage in an ongoing operation. Many Republicans have remained silent on Trump’s post.
The familiar ritual of calling for Trump’s removal continues, with Democrats seeking to exploit his latest comments to further their political goals.
