华盛顿4月10日（路透社）——据众议院司法委员会女发言人透露，马里兰州联邦众议员杰米·拉斯金周五对众议院民主党同僚表示，他将提出一项立法，设立一个委员会，以推动罢免任何被认为无法履行职责的总统。
这项名为“总统履行职务权力与职责能力委员会”的法案，最早由时任该委员会资深民主党议员的拉斯金在2020年提出，当时唐纳德·特朗普正处于其第一任总统任期内。

近期，国会民主党议员开始讨论推动弹劾现任第二任总统特朗普，或试图启动美国宪法第二十五修正案。该修正案规定了一套与弹劾程序不同的、剥夺总统权力的基本流程。
特朗普本周早些时候发表的言论引发广泛恐慌和愤怒，他称除非伊朗政府允许船只自由通过霍尔木兹海峡，否则“整个文明都将灭亡”。特朗普2月28日与以色列一同对伊朗发动军事袭击后，该海域航运已中断。

拉斯金提出的这项法案不太可能在共和党掌控的众议院获得推进，众议院议长迈克·约翰逊一直是特朗普的坚定支持者。
众议院和参议院的共和党议员已阻止民主党通过一项单独决议，以结束这场未经国会授权的伊朗战争。
如果认定总统因身体残疾、精神缺陷、吸毒或酗酒或其他状况无法履行职务，拉斯金的法案将设立一个由17名成员组成的两党委员会。
特朗普在第一任总统任期内曾遭遇两次弹劾程序，均在共和党控制的参议院获得无罪判决。
自那以后，大多数民主党议员都回避谈论弹劾事宜。但特朗普最近在伊朗的军事行动以及未能阐明明确目标，让许多民主党议员开始大胆谈论罢免特朗普的议题——不过这一策略并非得到党内全体议员的一致支持。

WASHINGTON, April 10 (Reuters) – U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland told fellow House Democrats on Friday that he will introduce legislation creating a commission to facilitate the removal of any president deemed unable to carry out their duties, according to a House Judiciary Committee spokeswoman.
A “Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of the Office” bill was first introduced by Raskin, now the senior Democrat on the committee, in 2020, when Donald Trump was in his first presidential term.

In recent days, Democrats in Congress have begun talking about pushing for the impeachment of Trump, now in his second term, or trying to trigger the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which provides the bare-bones process for taking away a president’s power in a procedure separate from impeachment.
Trump earlier this week caused widespread alarm and anger after he said “a whole civilization will die” in Iran unless its government agreed to allow ships to freely pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Shipping there has been interrupted following Trump’s decision to launch, along with Israel, a military attack on Iran that began on February 28.

The Raskin legislation is unlikely to advance in the Republican-controlled House, where Speaker Mike Johnson is a strong defender of Trump.
Republicans in the House and Senate have blocked Democrats’ moves to pass a separate resolution to end the Iran war that was never authorized by Congress.
The Raskin bill would create a 17-member bipartisan commission if it is determined that the president cannot perform the duties of the office because of physical disability or mental deficiency or because of drug or alcohol use or other conditions.
Trump was subjected to two impeachment proceedings during his first term, each of which ended with acquittal by the Republican-controlled Senate.
Since then, most Democrats have shied away from talking about impeachment. But Trump’s latest military foray in Iran and his failure to lay out clear objectives have emboldened many Democrats to begin talking about removing Trump from power – a strategy that is not necessarily embraced by all in the party caucus.
