Re “President Digs In on Syria Pullout as House Revolts” (front page, Oct. 17):

Phone calls to Ukraine’s president to search for dirt on a political opponent, throwing the Kurds to the wolves in Syria, erratic letters to the Turkish president and meltdowns in White House meetings raise the question:

When will President Trump’s cabinet realize as patriotic Americans that it’s time to initiate serious discussion of the 25th Amendment, which allows for the cabinet to judge the president to be unfit to carry out his presidential duties ?

It is critical that it happen before the enraged president becomes even more unhinged.

Our Kurdish allies are dying, our ISIS enemies are celebrating and Russian troops are prancing through American military camps abandoned by President Trump. American soldiers, in precipitous flight, have even begun bombing their own bases to destroy military supplies . To the world, our country looks weak, inept or both.

The House of Representatives agrees, having rebuked Mr. Trump’s actions by a bipartisan tally of 354 to 60 . Has a president’s foreign policy bumbling ever before been condemned by a 6-to-1 ratio in Congress?
