"I certainly think the president should be removed," Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said. "I mean, he's unfit for office. I think the 25th Amendment, and if not, then impeachment."
Congressional Democrats, particularly in the House, have recently escalated their position against Trump's war in Iran, shifting from pushing for Congress to reassert its authority in declaring war to demanding that the president be ousted from office.
So far, Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.; Ed Markey, D-Mass.; and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., have all either demanded that Trump be impeached or removed through the 25th Amendment.
But their calls for removal likely aren't going to go anywhere now given the political reality in Washington, D.C. Republicans control both chambers of Congress, meaning impeachment is all but a moot point.
It's also a desire that Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., contended was "not realistic right now, given his oddball Cabinet of sycophants and eccentrics."
"We're going to have to buckle down and win this the old-fashioned way," Whitehouse said.
Congressional Republicans are still backing Trump's actions in Iran despite some straying from the party line over his recent apocalyptic comments.
"We have done what we have talked about doing. Eliminate their missiles and eliminate their missile production and eliminate their missile firing capacity, undermine their ability to ever get a nuclear weapon, and sink the navy."
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment and has not yet received a reply.
