WASHINGTON - Trump’s letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre about Greenland has sparked calls from some Democrats to invoke the U.S. Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove him from office without impeachment. The letter, in which Trump demanded full control of the Danish autonomous territory and criticized Norway for not awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize, has drawn criticism and raised concerns about the potential use of the amendment, which allows the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet to declare a president unfit to serve. The situation adds tension to U.S. relations with NATO allies Denmark and Norway, both of whom are protected under Article 5 of the alliance. Trump has also been vocal about the strategic importance of Greenland’s Arctic base, which hosts an American space launch facility. The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967 after John F. Kennedy’s assassination, has four sections dealing with death, resignation, incapacity, and removal. Critics warn that using the amendment to remove a sitting president could undermine the alliance and set a dangerous precedent.
