President Donald Trump suggested Sunday that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) be impeached ― but members of the House of Representatives cannot be impeached.

Trump, who is said to have violated the Constitution by waging war on Iran without congressional approval, not surprisingly didn’t seem up on his constitutional law regarding lawmakers in Congress.

“Hakeem Jeffries, a Low IQ individual, said our Supreme Court is ‘illegitimate.’ After saying such a thing, isn’t he subject to Impeachment?” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday. “I got impeached for A PERFECT PHONE CALL. Where are you Republicans? Why not get it started? They’ll be doing this to me! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Jeffries called the court “illegitimate” in a statement while naming it the “Trump Court” after it invalidated a Black-majority congressional district in Louisiana as an illegal racial gerrymander. The decision, which Jeffries deemed “unacceptable,” dealt a serious blow to the Voting Rights Act.

Jeffries later attributed Trump’s wild post about him to “Jeffries Derangement Syndrome.”

House and Senate members can be expelled with a two-thirds majority vote, but impeachment under the Constitution is reserved for the president, vice president and “all civil Officers of the United States,” which has been interpreted to include federal judges and Cabinet members.

In threatening Jeffries, Trump appeared to conveniently forget his own over-the-top reactions to Supreme Court decisions, including the time he said two of his nominees (Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett) “sicken me cause they’re bad for our country.” The two had voted against the president’s tariff powers.
