California Governor Gavin Newsom calls for removing President Donald Trump under the 25th Amendment

California Governor Gavin Newsom has called for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office, following Trump's remarks about Iran and San Diego. Trump's comments, made during a Nebraska rally, were criticized as suggesting that American cities could be sacrificed, though the White House said they were taken out of context. Newsom described Trump as 'mentally ill' and joined other Democrats in calling for his removal. The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and cabinet to declare the president unfit, with Congress voting on removal. The controversy adds to ongoing political tensions in the U.S.
