Trump has come under fierce criticism from Democratic lawmakers in Congress over his extreme threatening remarks regarding Iran, with dozens of legislators publicly calling for his removal. Over 70 Democratic lawmakers, including several senators, have separately advocated initiating impeachment proceedings, invoking the 25th Amendment, or pursuing both simultaneously. They argue that Trump's public declaration—that "the entire civilization" could be destroyed if Tehran fails to reach an agreement with the U.S. by a deadline he set—demonstrates that he is no longer fit to serve. Massachusetts Senator Markey urged both chambers of Congress to reconvene immediately to advance impeachment. Connecticut Senator Murphy stated that no sane president would make such threats publicly. California Representative Cárdenas also called for invoking the 25th Amendment, asserting that Trump's use of language potentially constituting war crimes against Iran violates both the U.S. Constitution and the Geneva Conventions.
