Democrats call for Trump impeachment after Iran threats

Several Democrats in the US Congress are calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump after he warned in a social media post on Tuesday that ‘A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.’

Some lawmakers also raised the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which provides a mechanism to remove a president from office for incapacity, while others are pushing for impeachment. At the same time, Democrats plan to limit the president’s war powers against Iran. Critics describe him as unstable and dangerous.

The White House has dismissed the Democrats’ claims as politically motivated.
