Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., called for invoking the 25th Amendment to assess President Trump’s capacity to lead following his recent decision to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Speaking on national television, Waters argued that Trump’s firing of Cook threatens economic stability and suggested it raises concerns about his judgment and suitability for office.
Waters emphasized that the situation demands immediate attention—not speculation—urging lawmakers to act swiftly to evaluate the president’s fitness under the constitutional mechanism designed for such circumstances.
