A strategic briefing organized by U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for House Democrats on the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which outlines procedures for presidential succession in cases of incapacity. Scheduled for April 11, 2026, and hosted by Rep. Jamie Raskin, it addressed growing calls within the party to consider invoking the amendment amid President Trump's threats of escalation against Iran.
The event, announced via a 'Dear Colleague' letter from Jeffries, coincided with Democratic pushes for accountability on foreign policy decisions, blending constitutional review with urgent caucus discussions on national security.
