Common Cause Calls on the Cabinet to Invoke the 25th Amendment

Trump is unfit to serve. The consequences of Trump's reckless behavior will be catastrophic for generations — and failure to act won't be seen as caution or restraint, but as complicity in the downfall of our democracy.

Trump’s Presidency Is Unsustainable — and the Clock Is Ticking

Trump’s presidency is coming to an end sooner or later. The real questions are: how much more damage will he do beforehand – and who will stand by and let it happen?

Calling for the annihilation of Iran – an entire civilization of 90 million human beings just like you or me – isn’t normal. Trying to turn this country into a dictatorship – where one man rules by his word alone, where government becomes a weapon against its own people, and free and fair elections are just another inconvenience – is not normal.

Trump Is Visibly Unfit to Serve as President of the United States

Losing track of basic facts and being unable to speak coherently on a single topic for more than a few sentences is not normal. At this point, it’s undeniable: Donald Trump is unfit to serve as President of the United States. That’s not a matter of speculation, it’s a matter of public record – his incoherent statements and erratic behavior put our country at risk every day they’re allowed to continue.

A Cabinet Built for Loyalty, Not Governance

Trump has hand-picked his Cabinet for loyalty to him, not competence, qualifications, or desire to serve the public. And Republicans in Congress have spent Trump’s second term dodging their responsibility as an equal branch of government to rein him in.

The Consequences of Trump’s Reckless Behavior Will Last Generations

President Trump is being reckless with our lives and the lives of millions around the world – and the consequences of his behavior will be catastrophic for generations.

He’s abusing power at every turn – weaponizing the government against his perceived political enemies, using our government for personal profit, and openly undermining our elections. This is about our futures, our kids, and even our grandkids. If we don’t want to be the last generation to have anything resembling democracy, then this is our moment to act.

Every Leader Must Answer: Are You With Democracy, or Are You Complicit?

We’re done treating this like it’s anything less than an emergency. And we’re done with any “leaders” who try to tell us anything different. Those in power need to go on the record to answer one simple question: are they okay with what Trump’s doing, or will they do everything they can to stop him?

History – and We The People – will remember this moment. Failure to act won’t be seen as caution or restraint. It will be remembered as complicity in the downfall of our democracy and our country.

 

F.A.Q.

What is the 25th Amendment?

The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution establishes a clear process for removing a president from power when they are unable to perform the duties of the office. Section 4 — the most relevant provision here — allows the Vice President and a majority of Cabinet members to declare the president unfit, transferring power to the Vice President. Congress then has the authority to weigh in if the president contests the removal. It was ratified in 1967, following the assassination of President Kennedy, to ensure continuity and accountability in the executive branch.

What can ordinary Americans do?

Speak up. Contact your representatives in Congress and demand they fulfill their oath to the Constitution. Share this statement. Join Common Cause. Democracy is not a spectator sport — it depends on citizens who are willing to raise their voices when it matters most. This is one of those moments.

Has the 25th Amendment ever been invoked before?

Section 4 — the involuntary removal provision — has never been fully invoked in U.S. history. Sections 3 has been used several times when presidents voluntarily transferred power temporarily (for example, during medical procedures). The fact that Section 4 has never been used does not mean it was never intended to be. It was written for exactly this kind of crisis.
