Rep Maxine Waters D-Calif called for the th Amendment to the Constitution to be used against President Donald Trump on Friday suggesting he was unfit during a discussion about his removal of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors It is time to call for Article Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America to determine his unfitness to determine that something s wrong with this president And I would suggest that we move very aggressively to talk about the danger to this country and to our democracy and not play around with this because this is absolutely one of the the bulk destructive things that this president could do Waters mentioned during an appearance on MSNBC's The Weeknight Trump removed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook on Monday alleging she misrepresented mortgage information This stands to basically upend the entire business sector This stands to really deal with what is going to happen on Wall Street what s going to happen with interest rates what s going to happen with the president of the United States being able to make decisions that he will personally benefit from And so the world and certainly the United States should be watching this very closely As far as I m concerned we have to move very aggressively It is not about lingering and trying to think that maybe the courts will help us Waters mentioned on MSNBC 'SOME AUTHORITARIAN S ' DEMS RIP TRUMP'S UNPRECEDENTED FIRING OF FED GOVERNOR LISA COOKCook sued Trump on Thursday arguing that the president had not met the standard of a removal for cause and requesting a restraining order to allow her to remain on the Federal Reserve The scenario is likely headed to the Supreme Court and marks a major escalation in the growing clash between the White House and the Federal Reserve MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend inquired Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz D-Fla for her take after Waters called for the th Amendment during the panel discussion I think it s jarring to hear Congresswoman Waters say it s time for the th Amendment But I mean presidents have been impeached for much less Sanders explained COOK S PROSPECTIVE EXIT HANDS TRUMP GREATER SWAY OVER FED BOARD SHAPING US MONETARY POLICYWasserman Schultz argued that Trump yearned to fire Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell Donald Trump s real preference is to fire Jerome Powell But he knows that that s a bridge too far So what he s doing instead is he s taking a monkey wrench and he s going to go in and try to meddle with the component parts of the Federal Reserve by trying to fire Lisa Cook on something that was maintained in the court incident in the current era that she s not even being investigated for By the way the so-called fraud that she is being accused of she didn t even get preferred interest rates on any of the mortgages that she obtained which demonstrates that she didn t break the law It s preposterous Wasserman Schultz announced CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREFox News' Amanda Macias contributed to this description
