Why it matters
The 25th Amendment to the US Constitution provides a process for removing a president who is deemed unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. Section 4 of the amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the principal executive-department officers to declare a president unfit, which can lead to the president's removal from office. Carlson's comments reflect a growing divide between him and Trump, particularly over the president's handling of the Iran conflict.
