Could the 25th Amendment be invoked for Donald Trump?
Some US politicians are raising the possibility of using the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a close ally, said in a social media post that it should be considered. The amendment sets out how presidential power can be transferred.
Ratified after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Section 4 allows removal if a president is unable to carry out their duties. It has never been used to remove a sitting president.
The process would require Vice President JD Vance and a majority of the cabinet to act. If challenged, Congress would need a two-thirds majority in both chambers.
There is no sign the process is underway. Trump and Vance continue to work closely, including on Iran-related diplomacy.
So could this happen?
