California Rep. Waters Calls for 25th Amendment Removal of Trump

Democratic Representative Maxine Waters has called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, citing his removal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook as a dangerous and destructive act. Waters argues that the president's actions threaten to destabilize the entire economy and pose a risk to the country's democracy, urging for an aggressive response rather than reliance on the courts. Cook filed a lawsuit challenging her removal, claiming it did not meet the required standard for cause, with the case expected to reach the Supreme Court. Waters and other Democrats accuse President Trump of attempting to control the Federal Reserve for personal benefit and undermining independent agencies. Critics view Waters' calls as politically charged, with some labeling her statements as unhinged, while supporters emphasize the severity of the president's conduct. The controversy highlights escalating tensions between the White House and Federal Reserve amidst concerns over governance and economic stability.
