A political firestorm erupted after President Donald Trump threatened to 'wipe out a whole civilization' in Iran, prompting widespread calls from Democratic lawmakers for his removal from office.
Many Democrats are urging the use of the 25th Amendment or impeachment, arguing that Trump's rhetoric is unfit for a president and could constitute a threat of war crimes. Even some conservatives and former Trump allies have expressed alarm, while most Republicans remain silent or supportive. The controversy comes despite a last-minute ceasefire with Iran, which has not quelled demands for action.
The debate has reignited concerns about presidential fitness, war powers, and the constitutional mechanisms for removing a sitting president.
