Trump Calls for Jeffries’ Removal After Supreme Court Criticism
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump called for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to be removed from Congress, posting on Truth Social that the Democrat should be "subject to Impeachment" after criticizing the Supreme Court.
- Jeffries had labeled the Supreme Court "illegitimate" last week following its 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which struck down a congressional map for creating a second majority-Black district.
- While Trump praised the ruling as a "BIG WIN for Equal Protection under the Law," the Constitution limits impeachment to the president and civil officers, meaning Jeffries cannot be impeached.
- Jeffries fired back on X, describing the president's post as "Jeffries Derangement Syndrome," while reiterating his pledge to "fight back" against what he deemed a setback to civil rights.
- Trump's threat ignores his own history of criticizing Supreme Court decisions, including when he claimed nominees Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett "sicken me cause they're bad for our country.
