Silicon Valley Lawmakers Push 25th Amendment Move Against Trump Over Iran War Rhetoric

Silicon Valley lawmakers Ro Khanna, Zoe Lofgren, and Sam Liccardo are pressuring to initiate removal proceedings under the 25th Amendment in response to President Trump’s Iran-war remarks, arguing the president’s behavior threatens national and global security even after a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire; the delegation has scheduled a briefing on the amendment and related War Powers actions, reflecting significant Democratic opposition to Trump’s conduct.

Trump's rhetoric and social media comments raise concerns of violence and pushback.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) expressed concern over former President Trump's rhetoric regarding his possible indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, stating that it is "more overt and blatant" than his language leading up to Jan. 6. Lofgren noted that Trump's recent post attacking Bragg was "ill-advised" and could incite violence. A Manhattan grand jury is investigating Trump for his involvement in a hush-money payment made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels. Trump has repeatedly sought to downplay the Jan. 6 riot and falsely claimed that the 2020 election was stolen.
