Following President Donald Trump’s profanity-laced Easter post about the Strait of Hormuz, a growing list of Democratic leaders are openly calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. This constitutional mechanism allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president unable to perform the duties of office — a step never before used to remove a sitting president.
Prominent voices include Sen. Bernie Sanders, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Rep. Melanie Stansbury, Rep. Yassamin Ansari, Sen. Chris Murphy, and Rep. Maxine Dexter.
Their warnings highlight concerns over Trump’s recent behavior and rhetoric, framing it as a direct threat to governance and stability, and signaling an unprecedented moment of political crisis in the U.S.
