Senator Calls For Trump Impeachment: “Unfit For Office”

• Andy Kim calls Trump “unfit for office” — cannot name a single high crime or misdemeanor.

• Kim has been a U.S. senator for roughly 15 months — already demanding the removal of a president who won 312 electoral votes.

• Democrats tried impeachment in 2019, impeachment in 2021, and indictment in 2023 — Kim is now auditioning for attempt number four.

• The Twenty-Fifth Amendment requires the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to act — Kim knows this will never happen.

• Trump won the national popular vote and the Electoral College. Kim won New Jersey by fewer than 100,000 votes.

Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) wants to remove the President of the United States. He just can’t tell you why — not in any constitutional sense that matters.

On Wednesday, Kim publicly called for Trump’s removal via the Twenty-Fifth Amendment or impeachment, declaring the president “unfit for office.” That’s it. No specific act. No identified crime. No high misdemeanor. Just a freshman senator’s opinion dressed up in constitutional language.

“Unfit for office” is not a constitutional standard. It’s a talking point. The Constitution requires high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment — specific, identifiable conduct serious enough to override the will of the voters. Kim offered none of that, because there is none to offer.

And the Twenty-Fifth Amendment route? That requires the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to certify the president is unable to discharge his duties. JD Vance isn’t doing that. Neither is anyone in Trump’s Cabinet. Kim knows this. He called for it anyway.

So what’s actually happening here?

Alexander Hamilton answered that question in 1788. In Federalist No. 65, Hamilton warned that impeachment proceedings “will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community, and to divide it into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused.” He feared impeachment would be captured by faction — used not to remove a genuine criminal from office, but to relitigate elections that one side refuses to accept.

That’s Andy Kim’s play. Not accountability. Theater.

Democrats have now tried to remove Donald Trump from office or from the ballot four separate times — impeachment in 2019, impeachment in 2021, criminal indictment in 2023, and now this. Every single attempt has failed. Every single attempt has come without the democratic mandate to back it up.

Trump won the 2024 election. He won the popular vote. He won 312 electoral votes. He won because tens of millions of Americans looked at the Democratic Party’s record and chose differently. Kim’s response to that democratic verdict is to call for removal proceedings he knows will go nowhere — because his party has no policy wins to point to and no argument left to make.

This is what political desperation looks like when it borrows constitutional vocabulary it doesn’t intend to use.

Hamilton built the impeachment clause to be a last resort against genuine tyranny — a mechanism so serious, so destabilizing, that it would only be invoked when the evidence was overwhelming and the cause undeniable. Andy Kim just used it to generate a Wednesday news cycle.

A freshman senator with 15 months in office, no named offense, and zero path to execution just demanded the removal of a president 312 electoral votes put in the White House. Hamilton called that faction. You can call it whatever you want. Just don’t call it constitutional.
