AOC says Trump's Iran strikes "clearly grounds for impeachment"
President Trump announced the military action against three Iranian nuclear sites in a post on Saturday.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, ripped Donald Trump for his military attack against Iran on Saturday, saying the move is "absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."
Ocasio-Cortez ripped the president's action on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, "The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."
On the other hand, Senator John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, came to Trump's side and wrote on X, "As I've long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS. Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I'm grateful for and salute the finest military in the world."

@MicroWave The problem is that even if the House impeaches AND the Senate convicts, we then have JD Vance as President. After Vance comes Mike Johnson. After Johnson comes Chuck Grassley. I went 17 levels down a succession list that includes Tulsi Gabbard and RFK, Jr. Impeachment doesn’t improve the leadership situation unless it includes Congress finally deciding to do its job and rein in the rogue Executive branch.
Senate would never agree to remove Vance until they have a new VP chosen - who requires congressional approval, so they could stop the revolving door of traitors there if they wanted sanity back in the whitehouse
Johnson only happens if Vance is impeached along with Trump or for some other reason is unwilling or unable to serve as President. If Trump were to be removed from office, Vance would become president and would select a new vice President who would then be next in line for President.
