Invoke the 25th Amendment to Remove President Trump

To: Sen. Blackburn, Rep. Kustoff, Sen. Hagerty

From: A constituent in Brownsville, TN

April 7

President Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight" crosses the line from reckless to unhinged. I need you to support invoking the 25th Amendment immediately to remove him from office before his deadline expires. We are watching a president threaten genocide against 89 million people while bombing cultural sites and civilian infrastructure. Eighteen civilians are already dead in Alborz Province, including two children. A historic synagogue in Tehran has been destroyed. Israel is systematically destroying Iran's transportation network while we strike their economic lifeline at Kharg Island. Oil has spiked to $116 per barrel and gas prices are up 39% since this war began, punishing American families for one man's apocalyptic brinkmanship. Trump has set and shifted multiple deadlines throughout this crisis, each time escalating the violence when his arbitrary timelines aren't met. This is not strategy. This is a pattern of instability that puts millions of lives at risk and destabilizes the global economy. The Cabinet has a constitutional duty to act when a president is unable to discharge his duties. Threatening to end a civilization because they won't capitulate to extortion meets that threshold. The 25th Amendment exists for exactly this moment.
