Trump Advocates for Modifications to the 25th Amendment

Trump's Proposal for the 25th Amendment Modification

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday called for modifying the 25th Amendment to allow for the removal of a vice president who engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president. During a campaign rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, Trump asserted, "If you do that with a cover-up of the president of the United States, it’s grounds for impeachment immediately and removal from office."

Targeting Vice President Kamala Harris

The Harris campaign declined to comment on Trump's remarks. Harris has previously defended Biden’s capacity to serve, stating, "He has the intelligence, the commitment, and the judgment that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president." Trump’s comments come amid growing criticisms of Biden's performance and declining support.

Tensions in the Political Landscape

• Trump has accused Democrats of covering up Biden's mental fitness.
• The 25th Amendment outlines presidential succession but does not address the removal of a vice president.
• Amending the Constitution requires three-fourths support from US states.

Background on Trump's Impeachment

Trump was twice impeached during his first term but was not removed. The controversy over the 25th Amendment continues as it was discussed after the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
