Former CIA director John Brennan has publicly called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office, arguing the US Constitution's 25th Amendment — a 1967 provision allowing the vice-president and a cabinet majority to remove a president deemed unfit to serve — "was written with Donald Trump in mind." Speaking on Saturday, Brennan cited Trump's recent threat that Iran's "whole civilisation will die tonight" as evidence of dangerous instability, warning that a president with access to the US nuclear arsenal could not be allowed to continue in the role. The call is unlikely to succeed given the unwavering loyalty of Vice-President JD Vance and the cabinet to Trump, but it adds a prominent voice to a chorus of over 70 congressional Democrats who have made similar demands amid stalled US-Iran peace talks.
