斯蒂芬·A·史密斯敦促特朗普批评者别再推动第25修正案
斯蒂芬·A·史密斯反驳了针对特朗普总统援引第25修正案的呼吁，称该举措不切实际且在宪法层面几乎不可能成功，同时敦促批评者转而专注于在政治上击败他。

国会民主党人希望通过非常规手段罢免唐纳德·特朗普总统，尽管他们此前曾驳回针对前总统乔·拜登的类似呼吁。
超过50名民主党议员呼吁特朗普的内阁利用第25修正案将他罢免，理由是这位总统就伊朗问题发表的言论和采取的行动表明他不适合任职。他们的诉求源于特朗普在社交媒体上宣称，除非伊朗政府同意重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，否则“整个文明都将灭亡”。
“我当然认为总统应该被罢免，”新泽西州民主党参议员安迪·金说道。“我的意思是，他不适合担任公职。我认为应该启动第25修正案，如果不行，那就启动弹劾程序。”
但不到两年前，共和党针对拜登提出了同样的指控，却遭到民主党无视。

当时密苏里州共和党参议员埃里克·施密特写信给时任国务卿安东尼·布林肯，呼吁他与副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯一道援引第25修正案。
“如果拜登总统不愿辞职，为了我们伟大的国家，你必须履行职责，解除他的宪法权力和职务，”施密特写道。

如今，只有少数参议院民主党议员主张罢免特朗普，而众议院的相关呼声更为热烈。
若要通过弹劾定罪或第25修正案罢免特朗普，民主党需要获得广泛的共和党支持。但众议院民主党领导层仍在为相关讨论提供平台。
众议院司法委员会排名成员、马里兰州民主党议员杰米·拉斯金将于周五下午就第25修正案的运作流程举行党团会议简报。

2024年夏天，在拜登与特朗普的辩论表现糟糕，且前特别检察官罗伯特·赫尔的报告对时任总统的认知能力以及处理机密文件的方式提出质疑后，共和党人要求罢免拜登。
众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党议员迈克·约翰逊当时表示：“现在有很多人询问第25修正案，呼吁援引第25修正案，因为局势令人担忧。”

“我们的对手都看到了本届政府的软弱，我们所有人都看到了，”约翰逊补充道。“我说这些并不开心。我认为这是非常危险的局势。”
民主党迅速团结一致，驳斥了拜登心智能力快速衰退的指控。不过，也有一些民主党人呼吁拜登退出与特朗普的竞选对决，因为他们担心拜登在仅有的一场辩论中表现失当后，将无法在重赛中击败政治对手。
据报道，国会民主党高层、加州民主党众议员南希·佩洛西和时任参议院多数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默曾私下敦促拜登让位，数十名民主党人公开呼吁他在还有时间更换候选人的情况下退出竞选。
但两人都没有呼吁针对拜登援引第25修正案。不过佩洛西近日确实再次呼吁通过该程序罢免特朗普。

“唐纳德·特朗普的不稳定比以往任何时候都更加明显和危险，”佩洛西在X平台上说道。“如果内阁不愿援引第25修正案恢复理智，共和党人必须重新召集国会结束这场战争。”
截至目前，舒默尚未呼吁罢免特朗普。
4月份的一次内阁会议上，当被问及伊朗问题的后续行动时，特朗普开玩笑称，如果他透露接下来的计划，他的内阁会罢免他。
“我不能说我们要做什么，因为如果我说了，我就坐不了多久了。他们可能会——那叫什么来着？第25修正案——他们会启动第25修正案，”特朗普说道。“他们在拜登任内没有这么做，这令人震惊。”

FLASHBACK: Dems want to boot Trump with 25th amendment, but refused to do so under Biden
2026-04-10 12:19pm EDT / Fox News
Republicans made the same argument against Biden in 2024 after his debate performance, but Democrats closed ranks

Stephen A Smith tells Trump critics to ‘stop it’ over 25th Amendment push
Stephen A. Smith pushes back on calls to invoke the 25th Amendment against President Trump, arguing the effort is unrealistic and constitutionally unlikely while urging critics to focus on defeating him politically instead.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Congressional Democrats want President Donald Trump ousted through extraordinary measures, despite previously dismissing similar calls targeting former President Joe Biden.
More than 50 Democratic lawmakers have called on Trump’s Cabinet to effectively depose him using the 25th Amendment, arguing that the president is unfit to serve over his comments and actions regarding Iran. Their demands were sparked by his social media declaration that a “whole civilization will die” unless the Iranian government agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“I certainly think the president should be removed,” Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said. “I mean, he’s unfit for office. I think the 25th Amendment, and if not, then impeachment.”
But less than two years ago, Republicans made the same argument against Biden that Democrats ignored.
SENATE DEM ACCUSES TRUMP OF BEING ‘UNFIT FOR OFFICE,’ JOINS GROWING CALL TO IMPEACH, OUST PRESIDENT
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., at the time wrote a letter to then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling for him, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, to invoke the 25th Amendment.
“If President Biden is unwilling to resign, for the sake of our great nation, you must do your duty to relieve him of his constitutional powers and duties,” Schmitt wrote.

Now, only a small group of Senate Democrats have made the case for Trump’s ouster, while most of the enthusiasm has come from the House.
Democrats’ calls to remove Trump through impeachment and conviction or the 25th Amendment cannot happen without widespread GOP support. House Democratic leadership, however, continues to provide a platform for those discussions.
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., will hold a caucus-wide briefing on the workings of the 25th Amendment Friday afternoon.

In the summer of 2024, Republicans demanded that Biden be removed from office after a disastrous debate performance against Trump and following a report from former Special Counsel Robert Hur that called into question the then-president’s cognitive ability and handling of classified documents.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said at the time, “There’s a lot of people asking about the 25th Amendment, invoking the 25th Amendment right now, because this is an alarming situation.”

“Our adversaries see the weakness in this White House, as we all do,” Johnson added. “I take no pleasure in saying that. I think this is a very dangerous situation.”
Democrats quickly closed ranks and disputed accusations that Biden’s mental acuity was rapidly declining. Some, however, did call for Biden to drop out of the race against Trump over fears he would not be able to beat his political foe in a rematch after stumbling during their only debate.
Top congressional Democrats, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and then-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., reportedly urged Biden privately to step aside, and dozens of Democrats publicly called on him to exit the race while there was still time to find a replacement.
Neither, however, called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked against Biden. Pelosi did, however, renew her call to see Trump ousted through that process in recent days.

“Donald Trump’s instability is more clear and dangerous than ever,” Pelosi said on X. “If the Cabinet is not willing to invoke the 25th Amendment and restore sanity, Republicans must reconvene the Congress to end this war.”
Schumer has so far stopped short of calling for Trump’s removal from power.
Trump, when pressed on next moves in Iran, joked in April during a Cabinet meeting that if he revealed what comes next, his own Cabinet would oust him.
“I can’t say what we’re going to do because if I did, I wouldn’t be sitting here for long. They’d probably — what is it called? The 25th Amendment — They’d institute the 25th Amendment,” Trump said. “Which they didn’t do with Biden, which is shocking.”
