More than 50 congressional Democrats have called for President Donald Trump’s removal from office following his latest threat against Iran.

On Tuesday morning, Trump sparked global panic when he threatened to annihilate the entire country of Iran if its government did not agree to terms for a ceasefire. The president gave Iran a deadline of 8 p.m. ET and vowed to ramp up attacks to include crucial infrastructure.

That sudden escalation sent shockwaves throughout the political landscape. Key figures from across the spectrum condemned Trump’s words, with some even accusing him of threatening to commit genocide on one of the world’s oldest civilizations. At the time of the post, Congress was in the middle of a two-week recess as it was still struggling to pass a funding package for the Department of Homeland Security. That didn’t stop dozens of Democrats from calling for Trump’s immediate removal.

Included in the growing list were names many would expect to see, like Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). The Michigan representative called on Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to remove Trump from office, adding that the president was a “maniac.”

1. Bravo. Now we need the other 200 to get on board.

And not just as a strongly worded statement. Dems have to make clear they are deadly serious. They need to state clearly that they are not going to cooperate on ANYTHING -- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING until Republicans stand us and start doing the patriotic thing. No cooperation on legislation. No cooperation on funding. Oppose every confirmation with everything the rules allow, etc.

NO BUSINESS AS USUAL. THE WHOLE WORLD IS AT RISK OF THIS MADMAN.

This fiasco would fit the model for "Uproar". It was a great book.

3. It's about time!

[Ponietz]

4. It's slowly dawning on him he can't bully and intimidate Iran like a 13-year old girl

5. thats all?

[BumRushDaShow]

8. There were 20 this morning

Remember that a lot are out of the country - either on Congressional junkets or on literal vacation and Congress is in recess so they flee D.C.

16. How about.. weeks ago when he decided to wag the dog with his illegal war

How about when he declared his illegal america destroying tarrifs.
Or when he illegally kidnapped the leader of another nation
Or when he threatened to invade canada, europe, etc
Or years ago when he decided to unilaterally demolish usaid and kill more people than his lil war had a chance to?

19. You missed the several attempts to impeach by different (D) Reps the past year

that were swatted down. Also the various Resolutions by (D)s - notably Ro Khanna, to force Congressional approvals of 45's military engagements and again, those were swatted down. I have been posting all of this in LBN the past year.

As long as there are LESS than 218 Democrats in the House and less than 50 Democrats in the Senate, then we are screwed. As the douchebag (and Kevin Hassett twin) Mick Mulvaney declared - "Elections have consequences".

6. Should have been all of them.

[Wednesdays]

7. It's a good start.

But we need 218, not 50, in the House. And at least 67 in the Senate.

[quakerboy]

17. There arent 67 in the senate

There are a max of 46 in the senate, if we account for the possibility of a single Republican deciding to follow their oath of office. Which is a very big if.

9. Is there a list?

I looked but can't find it. I want to thank them on their Bluesky accounts!

10. The article had a Xitter post with the list at publication time

[orangecrush]

12. Good

[TBF]

14. Who is "Jeffers"

btw, you're a little late. Most of this activity was earlier today ...

[Aussie105]

15. May the call to invoke the 25th go out loud and wide!

A few years too late, though.

[Torchlight]

18. I'm guessing the goalposts will be immediately moved again

From "aren't there any...?" to "why so few" to "not enough" to "why not all?" in the space of 96 hours.

20. Hey Dems, if that fails try this next!

This past weekend, the deranged juvenile delinquent currently soiling the Oval Office, Capitol Hill, America’s Constitution and the country itself proved beyond any doubt that he could very soon escalate to NUCLEAR threats– if Iran continues to fight back against his unapproved personal war. Trump must GO. Before impeachment, though, it might be more effective for Democrats to (1) Ask VP Vance and Trump’s Cabinet members to sign a “Formal Intention of 25th-Amendment Removal,” (2) Launch that process if enough people comply, or (3) If too many decline, proceed to impeach-- in a single class action--   “Trump, Vance, and all Cabinet members who refuse to remove Trump despite his proven, overwhelming unfitness to remain in office. To remove those who refuse to do their Constitutionally mandated jobs.”   This would be (adapting Trump's favorite hyperbole)  a shot "unlike anything the world has ever seen” across his corrupt Administration’s bow.   It would, at the very least, strongly remind Capitol Hill that Justice is on the way. Regardless of how many patriotic Americans Trump's criminal Administration jails or how many future elections they try to steal, Justice is coming.
