@thanedar.house.gov (D-MI) called on the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment — a constitutional provision that allows them to declare a president unfit to serve. The lawmaker argued Trump’s threats toward Iran are dangerous and his sustained attacks on voting rights pose a threat to democracy.

Lawmaker cites Trump’s anti-voting crusade in push for removal under 25th Amendment
Taken together, Thanedar argued, Trump's actions represent a sustained assault on democratic norms — one that, in his view, rises to the level of disqualifying Trump from office.

Democrats should say that Trump’s attacks on Iran are unconstitutional. The American people do not want a war in Iran. The Congress did not authorize a war in Iran. It is an entirely illegitimate action that has no legal or constitutional basis. It is the act of a lawless regime.
