Iran ceasefire fails to quash Dem calls for Trump’s removal

(Andrew Solender – Axios) President Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday did little to stem the growing tide of calls from congressional Democrats for his impeachment or removal via the 25th Amendment. The Republican support needed for these efforts to succeed is highly unlikely to materialize, but Democrats are desperate to show their voters that they are doing everything they can to get Trump out of office. Reps. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) and Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) each sent letters to Vice President J.D. Vance and the Cabinet asking to remove Trump by invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) introduced articles of impeachment against Trump on Tuesday morning, which cite the war in Iran among many other alleged violations. Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) also announced plans to file articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his role in the war. – Iran ceasefire fails to quash Democrats’ calls to remove Trump from office
