JUST IN: U.S. Senators Formally Invoke 25th Amendment, Call for President Donald Trump’s Removal from Office

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** — In a dramatic and unprecedented move, members of the United States Senate announced Thursday that they have formally invoked the 25th Amendment, calling for the removal of President Donald Trump from office.

The announcement follows what several lawmakers described as “grave concerns” regarding the president’s ability to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet must determine that the president is unable to serve. If contested, Congress is required to vote on the matter, with a two-thirds majority in both chambers necessary to remove the president.

In a joint statement, the senators said their action was taken “in the interest of national stability and constitutional responsibility.” They did not immediately disclose specific details prompting the move but indicated that discussions had been ongoing behind closed doors for several days.

The White House has not yet issued a formal response. However, officials familiar with internal deliberations suggested the administration strongly disputes the characterization of the president’s condition and is prepared to challenge the action if necessary.

Legal scholars note that while the 25th Amendment has been invoked before to temporarily transfer presidential authority during medical procedures, it has never successfully been used to permanently remove a sitting president against his will. The coming hours are expected to bring intense political and legal debate as the process unfolds, with attention now turning to the Cabinet and leadership at the White House.
