U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar has called for President Donald Trump's removal from office, publicly labeling him an "unhinged lunatic."
The Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota made the statement amid heightened political tensions. Her comments reflect deepening divisions within the government.
Omar did not specify a legal mechanism for the president's removal. Constitutional options include impeachment by Congress or invocation of the 25th Amendment, a process for transferring power if a president is deemed unfit.
The White House has not yet responded to the representative's remarks. The incident adds to a series of public clashes between the Trump administration and its critics in Congress.
