Impeaching Trump May Not Be Necessary to Remove Him From the White House - Newsweek

Since before he even entered the White House, the word impeachment has swirled around President Donald Trump. But now, after his equating of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with those who oppose them, one Democrat is calling for Trump to be removed from office without the need for a lengthy impeachment process.

Representative Jackie Speier of California has advocated for Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet’s use of the 25th Amendment to declare Trump unable to discharge the powers of the presidency.

“POTUS is showing signs of erratic behavior and mental instability that place the country in grave danger. Time to invoke the 25th Amendment,” Speier tweeted Tuesday. His comments came after Trump said there was blame” and “very fine people” on “both sides” following last weekend’s white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, that led to the death of counterprotester Heather Heyer.
