Democrats Seek Trump's Removal After Iran Threat; GOP Silent

Democratic lawmakers are calling for the use of the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office, citing his threats against Iran and questioning his mental fitness. Leading Republicans have not responded to the calls. The move follows an Easter Sunday social media post in which the 79-year-old president used explicit language to threaten Iran, demanding it reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Democrats describe his recent behavior as a pattern of incoherent speeches and insults toward U.S. allies. The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to declare a president unfit for office. Democrats argue Trump's brazen threat—which legal experts say could be interpreted as a threat of war crimes—warrants this action. While Democrats escalate their criticisms, the Republican party has remained silent on the issue. The White House has not commented on the growing pressure from Capitol Hill.
