Trump removal chatter erupts among Dems over Iran post

Calls for President Trump's removal from office reached a fever pitch among congressional Democrats on Tuesday after he threatened that "a whole civilization will die tonight" in a post about Iran.

Why it matters: Lawmakers are openly floating impeachment or even removal via the 25th Amendment — a far cry from the strict taboo around such procedures at the start of Trump's second term.

With the Democratic grassroots increasingly raging at what they see as corruption and Constitutional violations by the Trump administration, their allies on Capitol Hill have warmed to more drastic methods.

After Trump wrote, in reference to Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight,” the entirety of the House Democratic leadership issued this joint statement:

Chuck Schumer and Democratic ranking members of key Senate committees issue a rare joint statement on Iran: "We speak today with one voice and one purpose: to condemn President Trump's threat to extinguish an entire civilization."
