U.S. Senator Comes Out And Says It About Trump: 'Invoke The 25th Amendment'

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is calling on President Donald Trump’s Cabinet and Vice President JD Vance to remove him from office via the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution over his latest threat to Greenland.
Markey shared a New York Times headline on X about Trump’s letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, which noted that since he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, he no longer feels an “obligation to think purely of Peace.”
“Invoke the 25th Amendment,” Markey replied, referring to a constitutional process by which the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet can declare a president unable to perform his duties. If the president contests that declaration, Congress would ultimately decide whether he remains in power.
While Greenland is a semi-autonomous Danish territory, Trump said earlier this month that “one way or the other, we’re going to have Greenland” and has repeatedly refused to rule out the use of military force. That was enough for Markey and at least three other U.S. lawmakers. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) also called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, with Ansari explicitly describing Trump as “extremely mentally ill.”

Invoke the 25th Amendment.

The president of the United States is extremely mentally ill and it’s putting all of our lives at risk. The 25th Amendment exists for a reason—we need to invoke it immediately.

= new reply since forum marked as read
I didn't know he was still involved, after getting fired in the first term and all. But I guess some people never learn. 
Either way, I think Adolf Eich-Miller is the one who's really running things now, especially the ICE/deportation insanity. That stuff has his slimy fingerprints all over ir!
I keep hearing that Republicans in Congress are getting fed up with him, the latest insane thing he's done is the last straw, etc., etc. But nothing happens. Then a week or 2 later, I'm hearing the same thing again, and still nothing happens. And on and on it goes. And here we still are.
I don't know what it would take to get the GOP to grow a spine and deal with him appropriately, but that is what I'd LIKE to see happen. Meanwhile, although the 25th amendment would absolutely be justified, I don't think Vance has the cojones to call for it, and I have even less faith in that box full of misfit toys that Schlump calls his cabinet to do the right thing.
It sucks beyond belief that no one who has actually been empowered by the Constitution is willing to DO anything. That is the worst part of this whole stinking mes, afaic: that we have to sit by helplessly while all those who might be able to do anything resolutely decline to do so.
My message to all Republicans in the House and Senate:
