After today’s violent scenes on Capitol Hill, US Members of Congress and Governors across both sides of the aisle are now calling for
Donald Trump to be removed from office either through impeachment or by invoking the 25th Amendment.
Two weeks before the key date when President-Elect
Joe Biden and Vice President-elect
Has It Ever Been Used?
Yes, it has. But not in the manner Trump s critics are currently asking that it be used. Presidents have used Section 3 of the 25th Amendment three times. Each time, they have given power to their vice presidents for a short time because they needed to get anesthesia for medical tests or surgery. George W. Bush used it twice during his two terms in office, in 2002 and 2007, when he was receiving a colonoscopy, relinquishing power temporarily to Dick Cheney.
Section 4 is the only part of the Amendment that has never been used. It allows other executive officials to declare the president unable to do his job. First, the vice president must agree to do this. Then a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments (the United States Cabinet), or such other body as Congress may by law provide (some other group that Congress chooses) must agree.
