25th Amendment explained and how it could
Renewed Greenland Push
Some Democrats have revived discussion of the 25th Amendment after
President Donald Trump renewed efforts to acquire Greenland,
framing the move as a national security necessity since returning to office.
Allies and Pressure
Trump has threatened European nations with tariffs if
Denmark refuses to negotiate Greenland’s sale.
Critics warn that using economic coercion against allies
could trigger a major international crisis and
worsen already strained relations.
Questions of Fitness
These actions have intensified concerns about Trump’s foreign policy approach.
Several prominent Democrats argue his recent statements and
strategies signal unstable leadership,
prompting public questions about his fitness for office.
25th Amendment Debate
The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the
Cabinet to declare a president unable to perform duties, temporarily transferring power.
If disputed, Congress can decide, requiring a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
Though never used for permanent removal,
lawmakers including Representative Maxine Waters and
Senator Ed Markey are urging its consideration amid rising political tensions.
