President Donald Trump departs an event to mark National Purple Heart Day in the East Room of the White House, Thursday, Aug. 7, 2025, in Washington.

Some Democratic members of Congress have called for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.

The calls came after the president wrote to Norway’s prime minister and linked his failure to win a Nobel Peace Prize to his efforts to acquire Greenland.

But what would removing the president from office in this way entail?

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss the history and use of the 25th Amendment, calls for it to be invoked, and what the constitution requires for it to be used.

Guests:

  • John Bickers, professor of law, Northern Kentucky University Chase College of Law
  • David Niven, professor of political science, University of Cincinnati
