snip* Articles of impeachment introduced

Talk of removal began even before the Tuesday Truth Social post, after Trump started the clock on Iran with an Easter Sunday post threatening to attack Iranian bridges and power plants if the country did not soon make a deal.

Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., on Monday introduced articles of impeachment, citing Trump’s “serial usurpation of the congressional war power and commission of murder, war crimes and piracy.”

On Tuesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., also advocated for impeachment. “When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?” Omar posted to X.

Others, such as Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., argued that Section 4 of the 25th Amendment — which allows for the involuntary transfer of power if the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet declare the president incapacitated — should be invoked.

snip*Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement late Tuesday that Trump should be removed from office one way or another.
