Sen. Chris Murphy wrote: “If I were in the Trump Cabinet, I would be calling a constitutional lawyer on Easter to discuss the 25th Amendment. This is complete insanity. He has killed thousands. He will kill thousands more.”

Rep. Maxine Dexter called on Republicans to take action to “save our country.” DJT is clearly unfit for public office. His true social position is one of incomprehensible danger and insanity. The Republican Party is complicit and must wake up from its coma to save our country,” she wrote.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote: “Happy Easter, America. While you are heading to church to celebrate with friends and family, the President of the United States is ranting on social media like a deranged maniac. He threatens possible war crimes and alienates allies. This is him, but this is not us. Our country deserves better.”

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the President “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” If evoked, the Vice President immediately becomes Acting President, but this can be challenged by the President. Congress then needs to decide the matter by a two-thirds vote.
