<p>Congressional Democrats called for impeachment, invoking the 25th Amendment, and accused President Donald Trump of threatening genocide before and after the White House agreed to a two-week ceasefire with the Islamic Republic of Iran.</p>
<p>The deal is contingent on the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a move that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/live-updates-iranian-protests-intensify-as-citizens-demand-end-to-ayatollah-rule?topStoryPosition=undefined&;author=Daily+Wire&;category=News&;elementPosition=0&;row=1&;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&;rowType=Top+Stories&;title=LIVE+UPDATES%3A+Trump+Says+Peace+Is+Within+Reach+As+U.S.+Vows+Hands-On+Role+In+Strait+Of+Hormuz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed down oil prices</a> and lifted stock futures early Wednesday.</p>
<p>“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE,” <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116365796713313030" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump posted on Truth Social.</a> “The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”</p>
<p>Announced hours before his 8 p.m. Tuesday deadline, the ceasefire followed a morning threat that “a whole civilization will die” without an agreement, drawing outrage from Democrats who questioned the president’s mental fitness and urged the U.S. military to ignore unlawful orders.</p>
<p>“This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted,” Congresswoman Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) said.</p>
<p>“To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat. This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.”</p>

<p>News of the ceasefire “changes nothing,” AOC later said, arguing the president launched a war without congressional authorization and is leveraging the threat of genocide.</p>
<p>“Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink,” she said.</p>
<p>Rep. Melania Stansbury (D-NM) urged administration officials to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would allow the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unfit to serve.</p>
<p>“Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment,” Stansbury wrote.</p>

<p>More than 85 House Democrats have called for President Trump’s removal from office, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/04/08/trump-impeachment-25th-amendment-iran-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Axios.</a></p>
<p>Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) accused Trump of “threatening mass death if he doesn’t get his way.” She urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to reconvene the chamber.</p>
<p>“Congress needs to pull the emergency brake now,” she said in a social media video. “Every Republican who votes to let this war continue bears a portion of the responsibility for what is happening in Trump’s war.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">We don’t know what will happen tonight: if Trump will back down or commit war crimes.</p>
<p>But I do know that Congress has the power to stop this.</p>
<p>Republican Leader John Thune must call the Senate back into session immediately.</p>

<p>For Republicans like Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), the Truth Social threat was part of a broader negotiating strategy.</p>
<p>It’s called The Art of the Deal for a reason, panicans and leftists,” Fine said. “Nobody does it like President Trump.”</p>
