Democrats are launching a new effort to impeach Donald Trump<\/a> as they claim the president is “mentally unwell.” Insisting the US president<\/a> is “putting all of our lives at risk”\u00a0 Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, Representative for Arizona\u2019s Third Congressional District, issued a scathing attack on X.<\/p>\n

Congresswoman Ansari said: “The president of the United States is extremely mentally ill and it\u2019s putting all of our lives at risk. The 25th Amendment exists for a reason\u2014we need to invoke it immediately.” The tweet prompted thousands of comments, one X user said: “Him and the rest of his administration need to be impeached and removed.”<\/p>\n

The Express has gone to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n

“Does anyone else think that you shouldn’t be allowed to candidate for Presidency after the age of 65?”, added a second.<\/p>\n

Another simply said: “They aren\u2019t even trying to hide the mental illness anymore.”<\/p>\n

Health fears surrounding Trump intensified further after Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove said: “Donald Trump<\/a> is unfit to lead and clearly out of control. Invoke the 25th Amendment.”<\/p>\n

The 25th Amendment to the US Constitution lays out the rules of succession for the presidential office and those for presidential disability or removal.<\/p>\n

The first two sections of the amendment confirm that if the president vacates office due to death, removal or resignation then the vice president is next in line to takeover.<\/p>\n

The president has constantly and passionately denied any claims that he is in anything but tip-top shape, even releasing the results of a medical exam and MRI test, claiming he had \u201cas good a result as they\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a New York Times article looked into his health, Trump posted a furious reply online: \u201cAfter all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it\u2019s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean \u2018THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senator Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts and Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-California also called for the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office to be evoked after the president said his plan to take over Greenland was motivated by being snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump told the prime minister of Norway in a letter that, in retribution for not receiving the award, \u201cI no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace\u201d and would consider \u201cwhat is good and proper for the United States of America\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Democrats are launching a new effort to impeach Donald Trump as they claim the president is “mentally unwell.”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":710876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[213035,213036,22299,32,123262,218,213034,12,1757,148907,659,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-710875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-25th-amendment","9":"tag-congresswoman-yassamin-ansari","10":"tag-democrats","11":"tag-donald-trump","12":"tag-impeachment","13":"tag-mental-health","14":"tag-mentally-unwell","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-trump","17":"tag-trump-impeachment","18":"tag-usa","19":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115933300868579202","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=710875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/710876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=710875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=710875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=710875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
