Rep. John Larson announced Tuesday he has filed articles of impeachment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
In a statement, Larson, wrote that Trump has become "more unhinged and risks the lives, safety and security of the American people."
Larson is also calling for the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.
He says cabinet members and those closest to Trump "can act immediately. They have an obligation to put patriotism over politics and invoke the 25th Amendment. Donald Trump is unable or unwilling to faithfully execute the responsibilities of the office and he is putting the nation’s security and economy in jeopardy," he says.
Larson's statement was released prior to Trump agreeing to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
"Donald Trump has blown past every requirement to be removed from office. And it's getting worse. His illegal war in Iran is not only driving up prices for American families — it has cost American lives. He's becoming more unstable by the day. His profane and sacrilegious Easter Sunday and subsequent threats, including 'a whole civilization will die' and 'open the Strait…or you'll be living in hell' not only foreshadow war crimes, but put our security at risk," he says.
