BREAKING NEWS A vote is being held to remove Donald Trump as president February 18th. Confirmed by the White House. Read the full story ”

This sounds dramatic, but no established news organization, including major national and international outlets, has reported that the White House has confirmed a scheduled vote to remove a sitting president on that date.

📌 What the U.S. Constitution Actually Allows

Under the U.S. Constitution, there are only a few formal mechanisms to remove a president from office:

1. Impeachment and conviction

The House of Representatives may impeach the president by a majority vote.
The Senate then holds a trial; removal from office requires a two-thirds majority in the Senate.

* Past impeachments of Donald Trump ended in acquittal in the Senate and he remained in office.

2. 25th Amendment (Presidential Disability/Removal)

The Vice President and a majority of Cabinet can declare the president unable to discharge duties.

Experts emphasize this process is very rarely invoked and difficult to do in practice.

3. Voluntary resignation or death

The president may resign, in which case the Vice President becomes president.

There is no constitutional mechanism that allows a president to simply be “removed by a regularly scheduled vote” on an arbitrary date without following one of the above processes.

📉 What’s Really Happening in Congress

There have been attempts by some members of Congress to introduce new articles of impeachment against President Trump in the current session — for example, a resolution introduced in April 2025 laying out several articles of impeachment. However:

These efforts have not yet resulted in a formal impeachment vote.

Recent news shows that the U.S. House declined a separate impeachment effort by Rep. Al Green, shelving it in December 2025.

So while some lawmakers have called for impeachment proceedings, no official House impeachment vote or scheduled removal vote has been announced by Congress or the White House.

Why the Social Post Is Misleading

The Facebook claim does not come from any recognized press organization, nor is there any statement from official government channels corroborating that such a vote is scheduled and “confirmed by the White House.”

Social media posts — especially ones formatted like BREAKING NEWS!”* — are frequently used to spread misinformation or political rhetoric rather than factual reporting.

Bottom Line

There is no verified news report that a vote to remove President Trump is scheduled for February 18, 2026.

The U.S. Constitution defines very specific and rare processes for presidential removal, none of which involve a single pre-announced “removal vote” outside of impeachment/25th Amendment proceedings.
