Why the 25th Amendment is back in the spotlight as Trump faces new scrutiny
WASHINGTON, April 12 — President Donald Trump’s profanity-laced threats to wipe out Iran’s civilisation have led some Democrats to discuss attempting to remove him from office by using the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution. Such an effort would be an uphill struggle, since doing so would require the support of Trump’s fellow Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress. Despite his falling overall public approval, some 82 per cent of Republicans are happy with his presidency. Trying to remove him from office could also hold political peril for Democrats — who twice tried and failed to remove Trump from office by impeaching him during his first term. Here is a look at the amendment and the issues: What is the 25th Amendment? The 25th Amendment was ratified in 1967. It was introduced after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and is intended to clarify the process of presidential succession, ensuring that the United States always has a functioning president and vice president. The Constitution’s original presidential succession clause did not address vice presidential vacancies. Between President George Washington’s first term in 1789 and 1967, the vice presidency was vacant for more than 37 years cumulatively because of death, resignation, or succession to the presidency, according to the Congressional Research Service. Has the 25th Amendment ever been invoked? Presidents have invoked Section 3 of the amendment — dealing with circumstances in which the president is unable to discharge their responsibilities — when they knew they would be incapacitated due to medical procedures, such as in 2021, when then-President Joe Biden underwent a colonoscopy. But Section 4, covering the involuntary removal of a president, has never been invoked. Section 4 allows the vice president and a majority of the president’s cabinet, or, alternatively, the vice president and a majority of another unspecified body designated by Congress, to declare a president unable to discharge the powers and duties of their office. However, if the president contests that decision, Congress must assemble to decide the issue within 48 hours and two-thirds majorities of both the Senate and House of Representatives must agree that the president is incapable. If not, the president resumes their duties. A person squats while using a mobile phone, with the US Capitol building on the background, on the day Republican US Senator John Thune (R-SD) was elected to become the next Senate Majority Leader, following the US Senate Republicans leadership election, on Capitol Hill in Washington November 13, 2024. — Reuters pic Has this been tried before? Some Democrats, including Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, called for then-Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment after Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. But the calls came to nothing. Trump also was impeached twice by the Democratic-majority House, over charges he improperly withheld aid to Ukraine and over the Capitol riot, but there were too few Republican senators willing to back the charges to muster the two-thirds majority necessary to convict him either time. Trump was elected to a second term in November 2024, winning 312 Electoral College votes to 226 for Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris. Scott Anderson, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said an attempt to use the 25th Amendment would fail without a massive Republican defection, as it would need the approval of two-thirds majorities in both the House and Senate. “It’s a political no-go,” he said. Trump’s Republicans hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House. What is the political risk? House Democrats planned a members-only briefing on Friday on “Trump administration accountability” and the 25th Amendment. But as they fight for control of the House and Senate in November’s midterms, Democratic lawmakers have been trying to focus on policy — such as promoting job growth, fighting inflation and broadening the availability of childcare — rather than presenting themselves mostly as the resistance to Trump. “We are in the minority. So bringing forward impeachment right now, while he is guilty of a litany of high crimes and misdemeanours, I don’t think is the best use of our time,” Democratic Representative Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania told a news conference on Thursday. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, a close Trump ally, criticised Democrats over the issue in a statement on Friday. “Congressional Democrats have no message, no vision, and no leadership, and they are offering nothing to the American people except an irrational hatred of President Donald Trump,” Johnson said. — Reuters

US Republicans block push to curb Trump’s war powers over Iran strikes
WASHINGTON, April 10 — US House of Representatives Republicans on Thursday blocked a Democratic effort to end US attacks on Iran, as Donald Trump’s party continued to prevent efforts to rein in the Republican president’s war powers. Representative Chris Smith, a New Jersey Republican, presided over an abbreviated “pro forma” House session, ending it before a group of Democrats could seek to pass by unanimous consent the resolution, which would have called for an end to the US military operation. While Thursday’s action was largely symbolic, top Democrats in the House and Senate have vowed to force war powers votes again when they return from recess next week. Congressional Democrats have tried and repeatedly failed in recent months to pass war powers resolutions to force Trump to obtain lawmakers’ authorization before launching military operations, in both Venezuela and Iran. Trump’s threat early this week that “a whole civilization will die” intensified concern among Democrats, dozens of whom called for Trump’s removal from office. The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential for civilians. “Threatening genocide is not a negotiating tactic,” Representative Sara Jacobs, a California Democrat, told a news conference outside the Capitol after the pro forma session, held because Congress is out of Washington for the two-week Easter recess. Trump announced that he had agreed to a ceasefire in the US-Israel war on Iran on Tuesday, less than two hours before his deadline for Tehran to reopen the blockaded Strait of Hormuz or face devastating attacks on its civilian infrastructure. The White House says Trump’s actions are legal and within his rights as commander-in-chief to protect the US by ordering limited military operations. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful. The Trump administration has sought to portray the war as a decisive victory, although the top US general said US troops stood ready to resume fighting. Trump’s fellow Republicans hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House, and have almost unanimously backed all of his policies. Although the US Constitution says that Congress, not the president, can declare war, that restriction does not apply for short-term operations or if the country faces an immediate threat. A return to impeachment? Almost since the beginning of Trump’s second term on January 20, 2025, Democrats have lashed out as they accused him of usurping Congress’ constitutional powers over federal spending and setting tariffs on foreign imports while testing limits on his military operations. Trump has also threatened to take over Greenland and end US membership in Nato. But one line nearly all Democrats in Congress refused to cross — until now — was even uttering the word “impeachment” in regard to Trump. During Trump’s first presidency, representatives twice impeached him, only to see Senate Republicans acquit him of abusing his powers and other charges. Now, Democrats are openly raising the question of impeachment and encouraging use of the US Constitution’s 25th Amendment to relieve Trump of his duties, at least temporarily. Their fears of voter backlash for again trying to impeach Trump have diminished since he threatened to bomb Iran into the “Stone Age” and wipe out all of Iranian civilization. Impeachment “is a constitutional provision to rein in an unscrupulous, thoughtless president,” Democratic Representative Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania said at the press conference. “There is literally a list of high crimes and misdemeanors that he has committed,” she said, referring to the conditions for impeachment that could be weighed if Democrats win control of the House in November’s elections. The affordability ‘crisis’ Democrats are attempting to link their efforts to rein in Trump on Iran to affordability, as disruptions in shipments of oil and natural gas have caused a run-up in US gasoline prices and agricultural products such as fertilizers — on top of the long list of other high consumer prices. “We’re spending millions of dollars on Patriot missiles to intercept drones that Iran launches from the back of a pickup truck and costs ten or $20,000, while at the same time in our home state of Virginia 33,000 Virginians have lost our health insurance, said Democratic Representative James Walkinshaw. He was referring to Republicans blocking the renewal of an expired federal subsidy that lowered Americans’ “Obamacare” health insurance premiums. — Reuters
