It’s not the first time Trump has faced calls to step down since he returned to the White House in January

Donald Trump’s administration is facing another round of calls to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office in the wake of his remarks to an unprecedented assembly of the nation’s military leaders.

Trump’s Cabinet and then-Vice President Mike Pence faced similar demands in the aftermath of the January 6 attack, when a mob of the president’s supporters stormed the halls of Congress to derail the certification of an election he lost.

And it’s not the first time Trump has faced calls to step down since he returned to the White House in January. Liberal commentators and critics on social media routinely demand his Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment.

    And you are missing the fact that the threshold for this is higher than impeachment, for a reason. Impeachment is for fixing something a President does. The 25th Amendment is for fixing something a President is.

    They didn’t want to say “only use this for documented medical emergencies” because they didn’t want to limit its possible use only to things they anticipate. But the simple fact that they made it more difficult than impeachment means that they intended for impeachment stuff to be handled by impeachment instead. They didn’t have to spell that part out, either, because it’s plainly obvious to anyone who is not making disingenuous arguments on the Internet…

      And you’re “missing the fact” that Opossums are the only marsupial in North America…

      Another topic no one was talking about…

      And you’re still wrong because it’s the exact same 2/3s vote. You are consistently and habitual misunderstanding everything I say…

      A page reloaded without me signing in, and I thought you were close I could help, and it was concerning how you appear to reply to me frequently with completely wrong I formation.

      There’s no way I can help you get anything I just hope people dont automatically believe your ramblings when you keep replying to factual.psiats.

        In the Senate. Impeachment is only a majority vote in the House.
