Anti -immigration demonstrations are spreading throughout America along with Las Angeles. With this, there is also a demand in the US with political earthquake that President Donald Trump should be removed from the presidency, although this demand is mainly limited to some members, workers, and social groups of the opposition Democratic Party. Can Trump really be removed from his post. They can undoubtedly be removed from the post but its process is very difficult.
Some other Democratic MPs, especially from areas which are anti-trump, have also criticized their policies. The possibility of impeachment is discussed. However, the possibility of impeachment is less due to the Republican majority in the house and the Senate.
Performance in California against Donald Trump (News18)
Trump’s immigration policies have created anger in immigrant communities and universities. Trump’s decisions have been challenged in court. Trump’s actions have been described as “violation of law”. More than 100 cases and 50 temporary restrictions have been registered against several policies of Trump.
However, these legal challenges are slowing down Trump’s policies. But all these things cannot be connected by removing them from his post. To remove Trump, impeachment will have to be brought in Parliament, which is not supported.
– Demand for removal of Trump is mainly limited to Democratic regions and some activist groups. The efforts of MPs like Al Green are symbolic, but due to the Republican majority, it is difficult to succeed. There is anger in the public (especially in immigrants, students and liberal groups) but it is not so widespread at the national level that Trump’s position is immediately at risk.
Question – Can Trump be removed from the post of President?
Yes, Donald Trump can be removed from the post of US President, but it is a complex and extraordinary process, which can only be from the constitutions set in the US Constitution. Which includes impeachment, 25th amendment, pressure arising out of tremendous civil movement.
In the US, the House of Representatives can bring impeachment against the President through a two -third majority, but there is no possibility due to the Republican being a majority there. (News18)
– Under Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution, the President can be removed by impeachment for “treason, bribe, or other serious crime and misconduct”. In this, impeachment motion is passed with a simple majority in the House of Representatives in the first phase. Then in the second phase, the case is prosecuted in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority (67 senators) are required. The Chief Justice presides over it. The first twice (in 2019 and 2021) has been impeached against Trump, but the Senate did not blame him. And at this time, the possibility of impeachment in the House of Representatives is less, because the Republican party has a majority. Therefore, it is difficult to get two -thirds of support for impeachment. However, the pressure may increase if serious public outrage and new evidence is revealed.
Question – What is the 25th amendment, which can remove the President?
-25th amendment of the Constitution allows the Vice-President and the majority of the cabinet to declare that the President is unable to perform his duties. After this, the Vice-President becomes the acting President.
This is less likely, because Vice President J.K. D. Wans and most of the cabinet members are loyal to Trump. For this, serious causes, such as mental or physical disability, are necessary, which have no clear indication. This step is politically risky. No President in the US has been permanently removed through the 25th amendment. It has been used only for temporary power transfer.
Yes, the 25th amendment in the US has been used twice but to temporarily replace the President under Section 3. In 1985, when Reagan was ill and then Bush (2002, 2007) was replaced by the Vice President during treatment in the event of unhealthy. After this, the President took over his work again.
Question – Can American presidents resign from civil movement or pressure?
– Heavy public anger or political pressure may force Trump to resign, as Richard Nixon did in 1974. However, the history of Trump shows that they do not easily bend under pressure.
Trump’s recent controversial decisions (eg travel restrictions, ban on foreign students) have created anger in the public and opposition, but the possibility of resignation is less due to extensive support (especially in Republican base).
There are cases against Trump’s decisions. If a major legal violation is proved, impeachment or other actions may begin. Large -scale protests or electoral pressure (2026 mid -term choice) can weaken the position of the trump, but it will not cause direct removal.
