Ex-CIA Director Calls for Trump’s Ousting Via 25th Amendment
Former CIA Director John Brennan has joined calls for President Trump’s removal, arguing that the 25th Amendment, concerning a president’s inability to discharge their duties, was “written with Donald Trump in mind.” Brennan cited Trump’s volatile threats regarding Iran, including hinting at nuclear capabilities, as evidence of his unfitness for office and a danger to global security. This statement comes amidst growing concern among Democrats, with over 70 members of Congress urging the invocation of the 25th Amendment due to the President’s increasingly aggressive rhetoric. Despite the low probability of the amendment being invoked due to cabinet loyalty, anxieties are expected to persist given ongoing tensions with Iran and the President’s continued use of charged language.
