and rhetoric, including his recent threat that “a whole civilization will perish tonight” if Iran does not comply with his demands. That statement has been reported as potentially readable as a threat to commit genocide under U.S. and international law. His record of making threats and expressing racist disdain for the humanity and dignity of those he does not see as useful to him raises serious concerns about judgment, temperament, and fitness to exercise the powers of the presidency. I am asking you to investigate whether the President’s conduct meets the standard for inability to discharge the powers and duties of office under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, and to support any appropriate congressional inquiry or action. At minimum, Congress should not treat this as ordinary political rhetoric. When a president uses official stature to issue statements that appear to threaten mass civilian harm and repeatedly engages in inflammatory, destabilizing public behavior, Congress has a constitutional duty to respond. I don't know how America will ever regain the goodwill and trust of it's neighbors and allies on the world stage if there aren't consequences for this behavior.
