Several former Republican allies of Donald Trump have called for his removal from office, including Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The former congresswoman, once a strong supporter of Trump, has joined other political figures in referencing the 25th Amendment as a possible way to strip the president of his authority.
These reactions followed a controversial statement Trump made regarding Iran, in which he warned that an entire civilization could face destruction if an agreement over the Strait of Hormuz was not reached.
In response, Greene posted online calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, stating that the U.S. had not been attacked and that such threats were unjustifiable. She described the situation as dangerous and irrational.
The 25th Amendment, although never fully used to remove a president, allows for the transfer of power if a leader is considered unable to fulfill their duties.
This process would require agreement from Vice President JD Vance and a majority of the administration, with Congress making the final decision.
Other Republican figures, including Joe Walsh and Adam Kinzinger, also supported invoking the amendment, describing the situation as alarming.
Some conservative media personalities, such as Candace Owens and Alex Jones, echoed similar concerns, urging action against what they saw as extreme rhetoric.
At the same time, several Democratic lawmakers—including Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna, Yassamin Ansari, and Rashida Tlaib—also condemned the remarks and supported calls for action under the amendment.
Their concerns were further heightened by reports of civilian casualties linked to military strikes, which are currently under investigation.
