Democratic senator calls for Trump’s removal from office under 25th Amendment

  • On Tuesday, several Democrats including Sen. Ed Markey and Reps. Yassamin Ansari and Sydney Kamlager-Dove urged invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump after his Greenland letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
  • The text and letter linked the Nobel grievance to renewed Greenland ambitions, as Trump sent a Jan. 18 message saying he no longer feels an obligation to think purely of peace after not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
  • Section 4 of the 25th Amendment allows the vice president and the majority of principal executive department officers to declare the president unable, with Congress convening within 48 hours and having 21 days to decide.
  • No Cabinet officials have indicated support for removing the president, and Vice President J.D. Vance remains unsupportive, making Section 4 invocation politically unlikely and historically significant.
  • Trump’s Greenland rhetoric has strained ties with European allies, who circulated memes and viewed his posture as a threat, while critics urged inquiries amid intense social media reactions.
