[START CLIP]

LEE: "You spend your time in the morning dealing with attacking human beings that happen to be Americans and happen to be the media. Well, let me tell you something, Mr. President. I’ve gone through as a member of the Judiciary Committee impeachments. But we can’t wait that long. It is time for you to resign, enough is enough."

CAVUTO: "And, apparently, that thing going viral right now. Texas democratic congresswoman representative Sheila Jackson Lee with us right now. You are calling, congresswoman — very good to have you — you are calling for something from the 25th amendment more to the point, right? Could you explain that?" 
LEE: "Well, not exactly, but for the American people, first of all, Neil, happy fourth of July. What a wonderful celebration for the American people, which was the birth of our freedom and the emphasis on our democracy and our ideals. I am recognizing or have recognized that a series of incidences have really created an non-sustainable atmosphere here in Washington and in America to get the job done for the American people, to pass health care, to deal with issues of war and peace —" 
CAVUTO: "But are you basing that on a series of tweets, congresswoman?" 
LEE: "I’m basing that on a series of actions. So let me just explain. The 25th amendment is utilized when a president is perceived to be incompetent or unable to do his or her job. We were discussing that yesterday in a constitutional hearing,ing and the statute requires or has a body to be created which has not been created yet. But let me just say as I was walking here to speak to you in statutory hall, I looked at some of the words on the walls. Samuel Adams says freedom of thought makes a happy country. Franklin Delano Roosevelt said hatred and injustice is an attack on our civilization. Our president has refused to acknowledge the interference of Russia in our elections. We had, as an NSA director, someone who had been advised or who had been someone who had tried to diminish the sanctions that were ended against Russia because of the Russian election intrusion and the acting deputy attorney general told the white House — and that individual was not fired for a period of time.
