They have not actually invoked the 25th Amendment against Donald Trump or any other recent president as of mid‑January 2026; it remains something people argue about, not something that has been formally used in this period.

What the 25th Amendment Does

The 25th Amendment lays out what happens if a president dies, resigns, is removed, or is unable to do the job.

It lets the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet (or another body Congress creates) declare that the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,” temporarily shifting power to the vice president as acting president.

Has It Been Invoked Recently?

  • After the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, there were serious discussions and public pressure to use the 25th Amendment against Trump, but Vice President Mike Pence declined and it was never invoked.
  • Since Trump’s reelection and return to office, the 25th Amendment has again been a talking point in opinion pieces and online forums, but these are calls, predictions, or debates—not reports of an actual, formal invocation.

How It Would Work If They Did

If the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet sent written notice to Congress that the president is unable to serve, the vice president would immediately become acting president.

If the president contested that, Congress would have up to 21 days to vote, and it would take a two‑thirds supermajority in both the House and Senate to keep the vice president in charge.

Why You’re Seeing This as a Trending Topic

The phrase “did they invoke the 25th Amendment” is trending mostly because:

  • Commentators and activists from different sides like to float it whenever they think the president is unfit, whether that was Trump in 2021, Biden during health/age debates, or Trump again after his 2024 return.
  • Forum and social media posts often treat it as a hypothetical or prediction (“they should invoke it on day one,” “they’ll never invoke it”), which can sound to casual readers like something that already happened when it has not.

Bottom Line

  • No formal 25th Amendment removal process is underway or completed against President Trump as of January 2026.
  • What you’re seeing online is a mix of constitutional explainers, opinion columns, and forum debates about whether they should do it, not confirmation that they did do it.
