Calls intensified after rising tensions with Iran and a profanity-filled post on Truth Social in early April. Critics say those messages and reported erratic behavior justify emergency measures; some, like Raskin, even proposed a commission under Section 4 to assess presidential capacity. Media personalities and former allies — from Joy Behar to Candace Owens and Marjorie Taylor Greene — have publicly weighed in, raising pressure on Congress and the Cabinet.
The debate ranges from impeachment talks to urging the Cabinet and vice president to consider the 25th Amendment. Supporters of action say it’s a constitutional tool meant for moments of presidential incapacity; opponents and supporters of the president have not coalesced behind a single path forward.
