Trump calls for impeachment of Senate Democrat who called ending Obama's Iran deal 'bad mistake' [View all]

(The Hill) President Trump on Sunday called for the impeachment of Democratic Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.), after the lawmaker criticized his decision to pull out of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in his first term.

"Senator Jack Reed, a Dumocrat from R.I., lied when stating the the Deal we just made is not as good as the Obama disaster known as the JCPOA. Reed is either an outright fraud, or incompetent," Trump wrote in a Sunday post on Truth Social.

"The Obuma Deal was a road to a Nuclear weapon for Iran, cash and all, one of the worst and dumbest (hence Dumocrats!) Deals ever made by the U.S. Our Deal is a WALL against Iran ever having a Nuclear weapon, the complete opposite of Obuma. Impeach Jack Reed!" he added.

A sitting senator cannot be impeached but can be expelled through a resolution that requires a two-thirds majority vote.
