president Donald Trump He faced calls for the 25th Amendment after he issued an expletive-filled threat against Iran. The fiery remarks on Easter Sunday prompted some commentators to call for his impeachment.
“Tuesday will be Iran’s Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, all in Iran. There’s nothing like it!!! Open the damn straits, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell – look! Praise be to Allah,” Trump wrote.
After the post, some critics, including insiders and lawmakers, reportedly began calling for consideration of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
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.

According to Congress.com, “Section 4’s complexity and concerns that it could be abused have led some observers to question whether it could be implemented for political purposes. During debate over the amendment, its authors and supporters largely rejected that assertion. They insisted that the purpose of the section was not to help remove an unpopular or failed president, and they supported this by citing the amendment’s checks and balances designed to prevent abuses of process. To date, Section 4 has not been implemented.”
