Jackie Speier calls for Trump’s removal from office under 25th Amendment

A Bay Area congresswoman is calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from the presidency under a never-before-used constitutional provision.

Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, on Tuesday became the first member of Congress to say that Trump should be removed from office with the 25th Amendment, following his latest comments blaming “many sides” for violence after white nationalist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“POTUS is showing signs of erratic behavior and mental instability that place the country in grave danger,” Speier tweeted Tuesday evening. “Time to invoke the 25th Amendment.”

Jackie Speier KNOWS crazy, psychotic behavior. She stared crazy directly in the eye and lived to tell about it. As an aide to Congressman Leo Ryan, she was at the airfield near Jonestown when the party was ambushed by People’s Temple fanatics. Ryan and four others were killed. Speier was shot five times but survived after waiting 22 hours for help.
