Devito Calls for Impeachment, Conviction, Removal of President
AL-05 Democratic Congressional Candidate Jeremy Devito calls on Congress “ to initiate impeachment proceedings without delay”
Combat Veteran and Democratic Candidate in Alabama’s Fifth District Jeremy Devito has issued a formal statement calling on Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald J. Trump.
In the statement, Devito said:
”I am calling on Congress to immediately begin proceedings to impeach, convict, and remove the President of the United States.
“The President's words—openly discussing the potential destruction of an entire civilization while suggesting “complete and total regime change”—are not just inappropriate. They are dangerous.
“This is not normal rhetoric. This is not responsible leadership. This is a reckless departure from the duty every President owes to the American people and to global stability.
“The power of the presidency is not symbolic. It carries real consequences—military, diplomatic, and human. When a President speaks casually about regime change, they are invoking the possibility of war. They are signaling actions that could put American service members in harm’s way, destabilize entire regions, and cost innocent lives.
“That power demands discipline, clarity, and restraint. What we are seeing instead is volatility.
“Congress has a constitutional responsibility to act when a President demonstrates behavior that threatens the safety, security, and standing of the United States. This moment demands that responsibility be taken seriously.
“We cannot normalize rhetoric that escalates conflict without explanation. We cannot accept leadership that treats matters of war and peace as spectacle.
“I am calling on members of Congress—Democrats and Republicans alike—to put country over party, to uphold their oath, and to initiate impeachment proceedings without delay.
“The American people deserve leadership grounded in responsibility, not recklessness.
“And when that standard is no longer met, the Constitution provides a path forward.
“It is time to use it.”
Jeremy Devito is a two-tour combat veteran from Athens, Alabama, and a Democratic candidate for Alabama’s 5th Congressional District. He is the only candidate in the AL-05 primary taking zero corporate PAC money. He is running a fully grassroots campaign built on accountability, service, and straight talk.
