More than 50 congressional Democrats have called for President Donald Trump’s removal from office following his latest threat against Iran.

On Tuesday morning, Trump sparked global panic when he threatened to annihilate the entire country of Iran if its government did not agree to terms for a ceasefire. The president gave Iran a deadline of 8 p.m. ET and vowed to ramp up attacks to include crucial infrastructure.

That sudden escalation sent shockwaves throughout the political landscape.

That didn’t stop dozens of Democrats from calling for Trump’s immediate removal.
