Republican lawmakers are reportedly facing mounting calls to invoke the 25th Amendment as President Trump’s behavior — particularly at the World Economic Summit this week — is sparking health concerns.
At least three times during his speech in Davos, Trump spoke of Iceland when he presumedly meant Greenland, a sovereignty he says the U.S. must have due to national security concerns.
COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland?

Brendan Czuczuk, Mercer County Republican Committee member for Hamilton Township, New Jersey, and Chairman of the Mercer County Young Republican Federation, responded to the reports on social media by writing: “I am one of these Republicans, calling on the Cabinet and @GOP leadership to act. This is a country, not some playtoy you abuse when you are frustrated.”
[Note: The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution addresses issues related to presidential succession and disability, and “provides for the temporary transfer of the president’s powers and duties to the vice president.”]

Fellow self-described conservative and supporter of Ukraine, Josh Roach, replied to Czuczuk: “I am also a principled conservative. I never voted for Trump. I wrote in other conservative candidates who were qualified…He is a man child, and in so far over his head, intellectually, strategically, economically, destroying our alliances, siding with evil dictators…..on and on and on. He is truly a threat to our republic. We need to invoke the 25th amendment. He is out of control and losing it on a daily basis mentally and physically. 25th amendment NOW.”
National Review senior political correspondent Jim Geraghty warned: “Remember, if you object to a 79-year-old American president threatening war against a longtime NATO ally, and explicitly saying it was because he wasn’t given a Nobel Peace Prize, there are Americans who will insist that your objection is a sign of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.'”
In Geraghty’s new article, ‘Tearing Apart NATO, Over a Trinket,’ he writes: “In a saner and better world, we would be having a serious discussion of the 25th Amendment of the Constitution right now,” and then lists ten things the president said that are “unhinged, false, or bonkers,” including his claim that the Norwegian government awards the Nobel Peace Prize.
