Alex Jones Calls For Vice President JD Vance To REMOVE President Trump From Office


What happened to Alex Jones?

Former owner of InfoWars Alex Jones, who was previously one of President Trump’s biggest allies is now calling for the 47th President to be removed from office.

In a recent livestream on X, Jones stated the 25th Amendment must be invoked to stop President Trump.

The Hill reported more on Jones’ latest remarks and his reasoning why President Trump must be removed from office.

Alex Jones, the former owner of InfoWars, on Tuesday said President Trump must be impeached over the Iran conflict, describing the situation as “absolutely out of control” and warning that the administration is preparing for a national draft.

“The big issue is how to stop Trump. And we have to have Congress go for the war powers. They’ve tried three times to vote on war powers — they’re supposed to authorize a war. This is a war; they’re getting the draft ready. If this isn’t a war, nothing’s a war. I mean, this is absolutely out of control,” Jones said during a live segment broadcast on the social platform X.

In March, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president had not ruled out the possibility of a draft for the Iran conflict.

“And so I’m calling for it right now: 25th Amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen to get this front and center, to get control of our country,” he added.

Jones, a well-known conspiracy theorist and former ally of the president, also said Trump’s support of the National Defense Authorization Act is “impeachable.”

Here’s the moment Jones said it here:

 

It’s interesting that Jones called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked first.

In order for President Trump to be removed from office by the 25th Amendment, Vice President JD Vance would have to start the process.

The Constitutional Center breaks down the first four sections of the 25th Amendment:

The 25th Amendment’s first two sections expand on Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. They make it clear the vice president becomes president “in case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation.” They also include important features that allow the president and Congress to nominate and approved a new vice president when that office became vacant, and to establish a line of succession if the president and vice president are not in office and those offices are vacant.

The 25th Amendment’s third and fourth sections deal with scenarios where a president may suffer from or be judged to have an “inability” or a “disability.” Scares about the president’s physical health go back to the first president, George Washington, who fought pneumonia in 1790. Woodrow Wilson and Grover Cleveland had serious health problems while in office. James Garfield was incapacitated for months after he was shot by an assassin and later died in office. Franklin Pierce, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Dwight D. Eisenhower also struggled with health issues.

The 25th Amendment’s Section 3 deals with the president’s voluntary transfer of power and allows the president to notify Congress that he has designated the vice president to act as president until the president is able to resume work. This has happened briefly in three instances after 1967 when Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush told Congress the vice president would be acting as president while they were under general anesthesia for medical procedures.

Section 4 is the most controversial part of the 25th Amendment: It permits the vice president and either the Cabinet or a body approved “by law” formed by Congress, to jointly agree that “the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” In theory, this clause was designed to deal with a situation where an incapacitated president could not tell Congress that the vice president needed to act on his behalf. It has never been invoked yet.

The most recent guidance from the Congressional Research Service identifies the amendment’s potential use. The report from 2018 includes concepts discussed during the congressional debates about the 25th Amendment in the 1960s.
