Newsweek<\/a>, which first reported the wave of removal calls, Alex Jones wrote on X: \u201cThe definition of genocide is destroying an entire civilization\/people! Trump literally sounds like an unhinged super villain from a Marvel comic movie. This IS NOT WHAT WE VOTED FOR!!!\u201d Candace Owens posted: \u201cThe 25th amendment needs to be invoked. He is a genocidal lunatic. Our Congress and military need to intervene. We are beyond madness.\u201d<\/p>\nAnthony Scaramucci, who served briefly as White House communications director during Trump\u2019s first term, said on X: \u201cIt was at this point that our Founders thought the best thing to do would be to remove a mad man who has the executive office.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How the 25th Amendment Works \u2014 and Why It Almost Certainly Will Not Happen<\/h2>\n
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unable to discharge his duties. If the president contests the finding, the matter goes to Congress, where a two-thirds majority in both chambers is required to uphold the removal. The provision has never been invoked in US history.<\/p>\n
In the current environment, it has no realistic path forward. VP JD Vance stated Tuesday morning that the US has \u201clargely accomplished its military objectives\u201d in Iran and expects the conflict to conclude \u201cvery shortly.\u201d No Cabinet member has expressed any dissent. The calls from Greene, Jones, and Owens reflect outrage within a fractured MAGA coalition, not the Cabinet arithmetic the mechanism requires.<\/p>\n
What This Means for the Political Landscape<\/h2>\n
The split is notable because it mirrors the broader market dynamic around this conflict. As crypto.news reported, each escalation in the Iran war has pushed Bitcoin lower, as investors reduce exposure to risk assets during periods of acute geopolitical uncertainty. The political fracturing of Trump\u2019s base over Iran adds a new variable: domestic political instability now runs alongside geopolitical risk as a market headwind.<\/p>\n
As crypto.news noted in earlier Iran war coverage, escalation phases have consistently produced 3 to 5% drops in major cryptocurrencies. Tonight\u2019s 8 PM deadline introduces the possibility of either sharp relief, if a deal materializes, or another significant leg down across risk assets if large-scale strikes on Iranian infrastructure begin.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do we 25th amendment his a\u2013?\u201d Jones asked his co-host live on air Tuesday. The question went unanswered. The Cabinet\u2019s silence on the matter strongly suggests the answer, for now, is that they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
