Democrats renew push to curb Trump’s Iran war as calls to use 25th amendment mount | US politics

Democratic party leaders are calling for a permanent end to Donald Trump’s war in Iran, vowing to introduce a war powers resolution when Congress reconvenes next week. Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, and Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, have both expressed concerns about the escalating tensions and called for a vote on ending the conflict. Over 70 Democrats are calling for the 25th amendment to be invoked to remove Trump from office due to his recent threats against Iran. Senator Chris Murphy has warned that Trump's actions could lead to "mass war crimes," while Representative Ro Khanna and others have called for his removal from office.
