Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment against President Trump

More from this show

Earlier this week, Democrats in Congress unveiled a new bill that would create a commission to assess whether President Trump is fit to remain in office.

Supporters of the bill argue the move is driven by national security concerns following Trump’s recent social media threats of escalation against Iran.

The bill is led by House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, and backed by 50 Democratic co-sponsors.

The bill would establish a 17-member panel authorized under the 25th Amendment. The findings of the panel would have the power to remove Trump only if Vice President JD Vance signed off on them.

Mark Kokanovich, Attorney at Ballard Spahr, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the new bill.
